Pros

• Good schedule. • Earn clients as you go. • learning resources - gotta be a self starter to learn more. • retail affordable. • great place to meet beginner and seasoned esties. Will likely make friends. • make good relationships with repeating guests • opportunity to move up

Cons

• wear tear on the body - you will be physically and mentally tired on busy days once you’ve built a clientele. Especially if you pick up xt shifts which is recommended especially at first as you won’t be making a lot of money at first. • minimal wage increases. You are dependent on getting clients that will be upsold or tip well. Also tipped wage earners get $3 less than state minimum wage on average. • drama. Lots of different personalities - it’s bound to happen. • corporate structure is which can be good or bad. • benefits are subpar

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.
