Pros

Great clients, life-long friendships in co-workers, free waxing.

Cons

Your health and safety during a pandemic is the last concern. And if you're not comfortable with doing a service, either get a doctors note to excuse you, or you have to or your fired. If you're 34 weeks pregnant saying you cant work an 11 hour shift, they'll make you get a doctors note. They make you chose between your family and children or your job. Have your life planned out a year in advanced so you can give PLENTY of notice before needing off, or else NO CAN DO. Every conversation you'll have about anything, you'll have to sign a waver for, just to cover their butts. The employee handbook LITERALLY says, you as an employee are expendable and can and will be fired without cause or warning at anytime if need be. They don't offer health insurance because "its not worth it for them" but still require doctors notes for everything. There's is no discretion of personal matters between management and coworkers, so expect everyone to know your business and judge you for it. There is audio in all security cameras and the owners sit and listen to all your conversations, so be careful. Don't change your schedule. Ever. They don't want to have to bother with figuring out a new schedule, and trust me, even if they don't tell you that, they'll make you feel it. If they don't want you there anymore, they'll make it KNOWN. It doesn't matter how much you do extra around the job, doesn't matter how well you do there with clients, doesn't matter how much you love your job, they'll corner you and force you out when they want.

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.
