I applied for a job at one location, and while interviewing there, I found out they weren’t hiring. They sent me to another center mid interview to start the process over again with the center that was actually hiring.
When I asked them about the pay, they told me that they have someone who makes $90k-$100k a year. They told me that was possible. Later to find out the girl who made that worked for the company 5 years prior, and went above and beyond the scheduled hours, picking up every shift possible. I asked for realistic, and they gave me an unrealistic number for the average person.
They also told me in the interview I would need to bring in 3 people as models to practice the waxing patterns on. They wanted to see that I was able to put effort into my success in the center. I said it was doable, joking that I had a boyfriend and at least 2 friends who would spare themselves for me. It wasn’t until training started when I found out that I didn’t need 3 friends… I actually needed to fill 3 DAYS with appointments. After countless social media posts, and my inability to recruit that many 20+ people, they made comments like “You need to be able to fill these or this training would have been for nothing”… threatening to let me go if I couldn’t get enough people to model.
I later found out that usually, they will call guests to see if they would be willing to model for a free service, and they would assist in booking, however this was not done for me. Instead I was threatened with being fired before I even started.
