Pros

Great cash tips Busy location Great clientele

Cons

The franchise owners do not treat us as licensed professionals. They do not care about our concerns or our well being. They refuse to offer us health benefits even though other, smaller EWC in the same area offers their licensed professionals benefits. They offer vacation/sick time, but they give you a hard time if you want to use it. They work us like slaves. They want us to come in, shut up, and wax, that’s it! The only thing that keeps me here is the clientele. Run far, far away from this place!

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.
