Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I can honestly say its a very supportive company. If you succeed, they succeed so they want you to be as best as you can!
My center manager deserves all the credit.
Review from Operations Dept
Communication, undering approach and good advice.
support, collaboration, psychology, safety, fun, training
They are motivated just as much as we are.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
I have been waxing for 16 years so i have plenty of experience however the training here is minimal.
Protecting their team inside of the business
Everything absolutely disrespecy got let go because she did not like me gave no actual reason until they were asked and work is slow yet after that emailed othwr coworkers asking to pick up shifts
to be able to listen and not feel targeted every time i went to work
Being fair. No favoritism. Being understanding.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I work part time so i dont have heslth benefits
love the great bonuses you receive for putting in the hard work !
Easy to understand and fair
As a GSA it was no cap on commission so I was paid $9/hr but was actually making about $23/hr. Now in upper management and we get monthly bonuses and there is a clear path on how to max out your bonuses
they are offering insurance for us now
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Higher hourly pay. Calculating tips shouldn't count as pay, especially when it varies from day to day.
Feel undervalued because this job should be about customer service, not sales. We are licensed professionals with clients who love and respect us, yet if we do not sell enough we might as well be trash. Bonuses in the service industry should be based on customer satisfaction, not KPIs.
Review from Sales Dept
More hours or higher pay based on experience, reviews & requests
I have no benefits, but they want I work harder, even cleaning the bathrooms when I'm a waxer. Changing my beacks backwards to a no show, when I was there waiting for my costumer. My raise depend on how much I work or sell every 6 months. If I don't do the quote, I dont get rise. For 1 point.
never listened or never followed through with anything
What are some of the best things about your team?
Most of the team are hardworking
Everyone is so helpful and supportive
Review from Operations Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Less cattiness stop competing with each other
Nothing coworkers are doing the jobs they have to do
we haven't had one in months
Being team players and actually working together
Review from Sales Dept
Less comparing between waxers and waxers sales
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The clients and the comradery with some of the employees
The relationships we form with our guest
Review from Operations Dept
The diversity and approach to each individual.
I just enjoyed working with specific coworkers
When everyone gets along and can help each other, instead of hostile competetion; which is exactly what upper management tries to do.
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Stop using scare tactics to get results because it will only be temporary. Use educational coaching sessions where you self reflect and engage in continous coaching programs
Actual oversight for franchisees. Unannounced visits would be a fantastic thing.
Hire a manager who know who to properly manage a location.
Our franchisee needs to go to workshops or additional training to learn how to effectively motivate and inspire team. She is very negative and unprofessional with clientele
Review from Operations Dept
Cultural sensetivity training they definitely need DEI
What did you like most about the interview process?
I got a call the next day after applying, and a interview the next day.
It was very relaxed and just felt more like a conversation. Granted this is when I was hired under a different franchise. Our current one has a mess of an interview process and I'm very happy I didn't have to go through it.
Review from Sales Dept
how detailed the questions are and how we get to meet multiple people
Whom I was able to connect with
They acted like the company was the best place to work ever in life
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The managers doing the interview could be way better
Make the question more meaningful.
Review from Sales Dept
Two interviews and check background
Review from Operations Dept
I would fire the manager
Review from Sales Dept
During my interview franchisee had me work unpaid. Franchisee insulted me and my family. Franchisee made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Franchisee commented on my appearance in a multitude of inappropriate ways. If I had not needed this job I would not of taken it. I had constant doubts.
What makes you most happy at work?
My guest and making people look and feel good
Review from Operations Dept
Meeting new people and building relationships with guest.
clients and coworkers the work itself
Making guest feel good and comfortable
Review from Customer Success Dept
My amazing clients who support me consistently!
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I get several complaints from clients about the manager, we push products too hard, clients complain about being bombarded every time they come in
People feel rushed, feel the waxers are not professional enough, since the waxers are rushed the waxes they perform are subpar.
get people that care about your staff and don't just walk all over them and treat them like shit on the bottom of your shoe
The clients recognize that EWC is terrible, but they usually love their waxer and want to continue supporting them, OR they love the convenience of it.
Review from Sales Dept
EWC Corporate needs policies that protect the associates. If they're being mistreated they should be able to be a brand ambasador with any franchisee they choose. Let them be pasdionate and grow.
