Pros

I am a longtime employee who loves my job and my team

Cons

They are forcing us to return to the office (starting 6/29 at 25%, now starting next week at 50%) and employees are very concerned about their safety commuting and in the building

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us, we want to first reiterate the importance of your health and safety and would like to recognize the patience, courage and commitment you have demonstrated during these unpredictable times. While our essential manufacturing, distribution and R&I worksite employees have continued to operate throughout this global health crisis, we understand that there is no perfect timing for returning to the worksite in this rapidly changing context. While we anticipate that this transition to our new normal will come with new and unique challenges, our approach has been guided by one principle: your input and safety. With employee feedback in mind, we have taken these actions under an abundance of caution, implementing extraordinary safety and sanitary measures that have proven to be effective while both meeting and exceeding local requirements. While we recognize this is a challenge we are facing together as a community, we are committed to a transitional process that continues to be prudent, progressive and sensitive to personal circumstances. We’re encouraging all of our colleagues to have an open and honest dialogue with their manager and HR partner about any personal circumstances that may require specific accommodations.

Pros

Good health insurance, that’s about it

Cons

toxic work culture and they don’t set up external candidates for success extremely tedious trainings required that have nothing to do with your daily job seems like they add processes just to make things look complicated when they are truly just launching a shampoo trainings were given sporadically and chaotically, and we’re not clearly shared to all new hires teams were backstabbing and threw each other under the bus in order to not get yelled at by leadership in meetings very catty Office politics and people whispering all the time they paint a fake exterior of inclusivity, fun, events, and socializing, but truly all of it is fake you have to really love cosmetics to work here or you will never fit in extremely marketing driven… R&D teams do not get any input or say and are just told what to do every day regardless of cost or feasibility Manager never had time to actually train me because everyone is so slammed packed with work workload is way too high per person Clark office did not have enough desks for everybody and booking was very annoying, regularly had to fight for desks extremely strict in office policy where they track your badge and you have to commit to today’s ahead of time to be in office forced socializing and events several times a month boring work but they make you feel like it’s the end of the world if a shampoo bottle doesn’t get launched marketing team quibbles over commas and apostrophes on product as if it matters had multiple meetings about different shades of white, and which white was the right white for packaging mandatory in person trainings that had nothing to do with your role Pay seemed high at first, but was absolutely not worth it once the role started
