Pros

Clear,set, schedule Good relationships with owners, other employees (depending on your location)

Cons

Minimum wage Constant sales goals to be met,They make you feel horrible if you don't meet them! EVERYTHING you do and say is scripted! Makes it difficult to enjoy your job when you're just following your "scripts" day after day and when I say EVERYTHING is scripted...I really mean that.From the moment a guest walks in the door till the minute they leave. You constantly have to push for "package sales" and "pass sales"...even when the guest declines the offer, EWC wants you to come back with certain scripts,still trying to push them to buy stuff they don't need! :/ The whole appointment book and scheduling is COMPLETELY insane as far as procedure and keeping track of EVERY single person that has ever walked through the EWC doors. The whole front area is LOADED with cameras and microphones so managers can watch and listen at all times,whenever they feel. REally made you feel like you were in more of a prison than work 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.
