Pros

Flexible and nice group of girls to work with. Would recommend to any person looking for in depth waxing experience -- but is not a great long term option as it takes its toll physically.

Cons

Low hourly wage, and 5% commission on services is a joke and basically slave labor -- $3.50 for a back breaking $70 leg wax is basically what you're getting. Then you can expect to be tipped a measly $3.00; if at all. The work can be incredibly grueling, with no breaks, if you work at a busy center. also the company late policy is ridiculous -- clients are allowed to be 9 minutes late to a 15 minute appointment, backing up your appointments and having to deal with angry clients, with the added stress of time restraints. It can quickly turn into a nightmare.

Pros

You can make as much money as you want if you Hustle. If you don't have that trait, you will be broke because hourly isn't enough to survive. Competitive environment so it makes you work that much harder. Great tips, I was able to save 10,000 in a yr. You have your own waxing room. Face paced depending on location. Free waxing if you work there and half off on products.

Cons

Sometimes alot of women can be messy and ewc is a chain so sometimes the way they do commission is different based on where you work, no benefits like 401k, health ect. Hard to get a day off because your clients are scheduled sometimes weeks in advance.
