Pros

50% off Waxing/ 40% off watered down products 50% is decent but it's free for everyone at most franchises...and the products are not made to last

Cons

Everything. Will change your schedule without you knowing or even being ok with the changes. You will never receive even a minimal vacation as a GSA at this location because there's only two other people to switch with. You go above and beyond and do not get paid adequately. The same people each time who say no to packages are the same people who get fed up with us when we FORCE FEED them our "rebuttals". Highest turnover rate(have seen 5 girls quit in a less than 2 months). Too much drama for one job and the management does less than nothing to handle situations.. Just asks that you "send in a proper form".

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
