Bluemercury reviews

Management is completely awful. Everyone is out to blame others in fear of getting yelled at by The VPs. There are no performance reviews and absolutely no discussion of upward growth and career development. On any given day in the office you can hear someone down the hall yelling at another employee about something he or she did wrong. In the year I was with the company, I did not meet a single other employee who had anything nice to say about working there. Blue Mercury has an awful company culture where everyone is set up to fail. Computer systems are outdated so very equipped, intelligent employees are left doing busy work for 8 hours a day. The work is truly degrading. If you actually have buying or planning experience I would highly recommend avoiding working here because I guarantee you will not be exercising any relevant skills (unless you include troubleshooting oversized excel docs LITERALLY all day a relevant skill). If you care about your career and have intentions to succeed BEWARE and DO NOT WORK HERE. I really wish I had read these reviews prior to accepting a position here so hoping my review helps others. The work life balance is also pathetic, at this company no matter how hard you work or how well you do your job, you are looked down upon if you don't stay late every night. Benefits are also minimum and insurance is expensive.

I am here for the job seekers. The people...probably young women...who saw a posting for a job at BM in merchandising and thought, "omg dream job!" I am here to tell you: stay away, stay away, stay away. No amount of love for the beauty or luxury goods industries can make this place worth it. You're WAY better off just finding a job you like that pays well, then being a beauty enthusiast on your own dime. I've never seen anything like the corporate office culture at Bluemercury, specifically in merchandising (buying & planning). Just do yourself a favor and look on Linked In at how long people last at Bluemercury on those teams. Hint: it's not long. Hint: they all did basically the same jobs. The company just cycles through talent on about a 11-15 month basis. You will be desperately searching for another job if you join the team. Some free beauty product isn't worth the tears, dirty offices, nasty tone of voice, bizarre & unreasonable expectations, crazy behavior, micro-management, etc etc etc etc STAY AWAY
