Pros

If you are educated in the field and are confident in your skill you will succeed! The woman who work along side you are great! Some owners are ready to listen some aren't but overall ewc is good if you're ready to hustle and bust your butt. Unfortunately managers and front desk workers are not paid or qualified enough but are mostly receptive to logical requests and needs

Cons

I went from making 50k per year to 30k. After multiple pay structure changes, poor training and lack of attention to center needs, quality of staff and services have dropped dramatically. Prices have risen every two years while pay has dropped a great deal! Maintenance of centers has dwindle. Lower cost pots have replaced better functioning ones as well as other corners being cut. As a former wax trainer who was paid for my expertise for educating a producing qualified waxers I am no longer used due to the cost. New waxers are now trained by unlicensed managers or unqualified waxers for no additional pay. There is no continuing education and have never been enlightened of career advancement beyond employment of a center. Also as a top waxer for one center, moving to another local center could create rifts within states between owners and is often declined

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.
