Pros

Company has a fun and bubbly image. The makeup is decent and the packaging is always fun. The brand is relatively well-known with some core products that have been around since the brand's beginning.

Cons

When you dig a little deeper, the company does not care about the employees. Unrealistic goals and expectations are set and will also change at a moment's notice.

Pros

The only real pro is free product

Cons

Very minimal growth within the company. They will lie to you to get you to stay on especially if you make their numbers look good. Very fake, and catty atmosphere. One of the most unprofessional places I have ever worked. Non competitive pay ... the list can truly go on and on

Pros

Great co-workers and direct manager.

Cons

Upper management has been extremely disrespectful during a field layoff. The company is currently very disorganized and seems to be "wining it" with future plans. There is also EXTREME favoritism in the ranks.
