Not my favorite job

Pros

Great products and Proven techniques

Cons

Lack of structure, no work/life balance. As a store manager you are told that you are not to train your staff but you are supposed to motivate them to sell. You have to use scripts, which sometimes do not relate to the customer and they sound extremely robotic. You are constantly being monitored on camera, which did not bother me, but made my staff feel like I did not trust them.

Pros

the guests, the discount, potential to make money.

Cons

Threats, extreme pressure to sell, very easy to get fired. I was the longest running guest service associate in the store and I was only there for eight months. Management does not care about you and will fire you without thinking twice about it. I saw four girls get fired for very small things. I also witnessed the owner yelling at the manager to the point where she was in tears. Eventually I felt like I had to quit before they could find a reason to fire me and found a job at a much more stable environment. I was definitely not comfortable there. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Pros

Fun coworkers My manager was okay

Cons

Pushy sales of products that are questionable. What *IS* is in the lotion or body wash that supposedly makes waxing less 'ouchy'? What *IS* it in the eyebrow serum that grows hair? No one could tell me. A coworker said she lies to clients and says it worked on her. That's when I knew I was quitting. Low commission and no commission on the free wax services. I'm not a fan of hard wax on back/legs/arms. They kept telling me I wasn't doing it right when I complained it didn't get all the hair. Once I started my own wax studio and began using soft wax for those areas I could get every little hair. Lots of no shows I kept being written up for not selling 3 products per shift. 8 hours of waxing is hard on the body. Waxing is very labor intensive. It's easy to get burned out. Impossible to get a day off if you can't find someone to cover your shift.
