Pros

It pays you US currency so that you may pay your bills. That is pretty much the sole pro to being employed here... at least in this franchise.

Cons

Literally everything else. No breakroom. No fridge. No microwave. Terrible food choices in a five mile radius. Management is only sourced from a pool of receptionists that have zero idea of what the waxers jobs intel. They only promote receptionists. Depending on your franchise it may be falling apart. Cold as balls, refusing to repair ac unit. Cap on raises. Terrible commission structure. They barely market. They only use one type of wax. Not many product promotions. No incentive to work there other than needing US currency to pay your bills.

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.
