L'Oréal reviews

• "Fluid" management which leads to indecisiveness and lots of unnecessary back-and-forth – lack of clarity and direction. • Political environment in brand marketing teams – high school all over again. Lots of bootlicking going on on a daily basis. Play the game or you lose. • "Kids" (MTs turned Pdt Managers) who have not worked anywhere else think they know it all and act like their years of work in Loreal correlates to having more "power". • Staff are constantly overworked and feel a need to ensure you "suffer" with them as well. If you don't buy into the "work over weekend" mentality, you are deemed not committed, not passionate, or not "Loreal-like". • Terrible for middle managers, especially those outside of the Marketing scope as priority/consideration is always given to Brand teams. • Sorely lacking guidance and mentorship for support functions sitting in the Marketing team. • Borderline workplace bullying with shouting matches and public shaming from peers.

The cons are literally endless. Much of it boils down to culture. Read the reviews saying "stay away" and trust them. The amount of decks that go no where are endless. The data sources are questionable. Demands for decks from leadership pop up out of no where. employees are scared to leave their desks for lunch in the event management has a demand from them. when I was hired, HR told me i would be on fast path to senior level leadership and dangled it in front of me like a carrot in front of a horse. however, they provided ZERO opportunities for growth, development, and leadership. in fact, any time i attended a training or event for my development, they forced me to leave to do some "urgent" work that could've been done by many others. they made me feel guilty for the competitive salary i effectively negotiated. leadership is flat out rude and disrespectful. i had to take a personal day to be with my father for a serious surgery he was getting. i was nagged, called, and emailed constantly, expecting me to work at his bedside. work is obviously important however that is a line that is too far to cross. management would call me at 6am demanding i send them items. management was insulting, crass, and down right unprofessional. employees are manipulative with no benefit. employees are voluntarily leaving in packs and management does not seem to care one bit. it is a revolving door. i developed serious anxiety and ptsd and saw my health deteriorate while working here. it is TOXIC.
