Pros

Scheduling is perfect if you're a student, commission is great if you are good at sales, and the guest are amazing.

Cons

EWC is everything that is wrong with retail today. They have a habit of treating their loyal staff like they treat their bad staff. They only see you as a number not as a human being, they watch your every move and if you forget one tiny bit of information you are written up. They look for reasons to keep writing you up, and give the nonproductive employee's second chances. They make racial sly racist jokes, that go undocumented and gossip about everyone. Upper management treats you like dirt, and always has a condescending response when you bring up an issue. I am so glad I put in my notice I couldn't work there another month.

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.
