Pros

if the guests tip well you make money. but my yearly amount was 20000 last year not seventy. Management doesn't wax and are never in the building. I have very little pros

Cons

no paid vacation unless your management, little pay, guests are sometimes dirty smelly . I literally hate my job. don't waste your time. no benefits , no moving up in company. catty women. I feel like I work in a factory doing fifteen minute brazillians all day.

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.
