Pros

Pay is okay You learn to wax fast Commission is pretty good

Cons

Work at a center that’s been open for at least 5+ years because it’s already established with a client base & everyones focused on working, they don’t have time to gossip! EWCs corporate policies are good on paper, but when you work at a center, it all boils down to the owners/management. The Patel’s are the worst owners who own the MOST on the east coast. They don’t believe in raises, they hire the worst management, and everyone is replaceable. From messing up payroll, managers drinking on the clock with employees, and saying that it’s not a priority to ask for tips, personal vendettas against employees to get them fired, micromanaging Black employees, “forgetting” to ask for tips... It’s just a mess. Their commission is terrible, too. If they tell you the Patel’s own a specific center, at a job interview, turn it down! There’s a reason why they’re always hiring! They own Linden, Metuchen, Rutherford, East Brunswick, Union, Ocean & more. Be careful ladies. They will work you like an animal & tell you it’s your own failure as to why you’re not making a lot when in actuality, they’re just robbing their employees.

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.
