Pros

The only good thing about working here was meeting amazing guests

Cons

I went to school to become a licensed esthetician and spent a lot of money on my education. At EWC you get paid minimum wage and 5% commission. There are different wax levels yet the franchisee I worked for wouldn't give you a raise if you move up. Not good growth within the company, even though I wouldn't want to grow within such a terrible company. I worked so hard for them yet I wasn't making what I should have been. I would never suggest working for them.

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.
