Pros

My coworkers and absolutely nothing else.

Cons

I work for this company for 6 years. It is totally different that it was when I started. The company used to believe in giving the BEST wax. Then money got in the way. They took their amazing products and ruined them. All of their products are fragrance and water now. I think they forget that we are estheticians. All they care about is you selling them. They only care about product sales! They used to have the best wax. Funny thing is they think we are stupid and don't notice that they are cheapening their wax product. It's absolutely terrible now. Hard to work with, more painful. I believed in this company for years. Now they are all about selling products. It's not even about waxing anymore. They work their waxers to the bone, they are underpaid, they threaten your job if you don't sell their crappy products. It's sad. Not worth it.

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.
