Pros

You meet some nice guest, hard but great training, the wax is awesome. I would not make it an career but it is good if your fresh out of beauty school and need a quick gig.

Cons

Well they basically utilize you to build their books so once you leave you can not take any of your guest with you. After investing a year of your hard work they cut your pay off at $9 so you basically have to continue to upsell and sell products if you want any reward. Tips are not always reliable because you may not receive a tip but that applies for any service position. No benefits, no full time, you also have to request time off 4 weeks in advance and it may not still be approved. Very high turnover rate. They claim it's very family oriented when it's not and their appearing everywhere like they are the McDonald's of express waxing services.

Pros

The company is growing therefore the skills and education I have obtained is priceless. I work with a great team that is supportive and positive - rarely any drama. I actually want to come to work every day and strive to meet new goals. This has been a wonderful experience and I hope to grow with the company.

Cons

There is a lot of information to learn. Once you get it I can see how helpful it is. However, in the beginning it can feel like a lot. You need to be ready to stay busy!

Pros

Beautiful centers, great products, discounted or even free waxing!! I was promoted in 6 months! Ive met the CEO its definitely not a faceless brand. Good $$ benefits paid for in corporate position. Its all about you ewc reflects the person, if you have great work ethic you'll succeed. I only saw turn overs of people who werent the responsible type.

Cons

Nothing but women and everything that goes along with that. Sometimes drama and cattiness. Scripts can get old
