Pros
The opportunity to build long-term relationships with clients and help people feel more confident through esthetic services. I enjoyed the work itself and gained valuable experience in waxing, retail, and client care. The role allowed me to strengthen my technical skills and build a loyal clientele.
Cons
Under the current management, communication became inconsistent. Schedule changes and reductions to my hours were not always communicated directly, and different members of management often provided conflicting information regarding scheduling, policies, and expectations, which created unnecessary confusion. I also observed inconsistency in how clients, sales opportunities, and other opportunities were distributed among employees, which made me feel that opportunities were not always handled consistently. Over time, the overall morale in the boutique changed. One of my favorite parts of the job was building genuine relationships with my clients, but I felt like I couldn’t interact with them the same way because I was constantly aware of being micromanaged. What had once been a job I genuinely enjoyed simply wasn’t as enjoyable anymore, and that became a significant factor in my decision to leave.
