Pros

Make a lot of money right away...the girls at my location get along very well (no drama) personally I'm grossing 35k a year and only work 30 hours a week...I have seniority so I can get away with more. The wax is the best and the products are awesome. Loyal clients, some bring us gifts. even if you work an entire shift without one guest you still make money but not more than $10hr...if you include commission and tips your estimated hourly wage could be $12hr-$36hr (that is the least and most I have ever made but I avg around $20-$25 hr

Cons

memorized scripts work well with new guests but I don't want to stick to them when I've been seeing a guest for months or years on end. They keep track of EVERYTHING which is good but if you aren't meeting certain numbers they swear the earth is ending. Getting time off is like a crap shoot...you never kno if you're gonna get it... unfortunately the girls at my location call in sick instead of asking (we all get along so we know whats up but don't rat each other out) If you want to go to school or get a second job you have to do it quietly because it is against the rules (which I think is illegal)

Pros

Clear,set, schedule Good relationships with owners, other employees (depending on your location)

Cons

Minimum wage Constant sales goals to be met,They make you feel horrible if you don't meet them! EVERYTHING you do and say is scripted! Makes it difficult to enjoy your job when you're just following your "scripts" day after day and when I say EVERYTHING is scripted...I really mean that.From the moment a guest walks in the door till the minute they leave. You constantly have to push for "package sales" and "pass sales"...even when the guest declines the offer, EWC wants you to come back with certain scripts,still trying to push them to buy stuff they don't need! :/ The whole appointment book and scheduling is COMPLETELY insane as far as procedure and keeping track of EVERY single person that has ever walked through the EWC doors. The whole front area is LOADED with cameras and microphones so managers can watch and listen at all times,whenever they feel. REally made you feel like you were in more of a prison than work place.
