Lots of love for this company but no room for growth

Business Outlook

Pros

This company sells amazing products and if you have as passionate of bosses as I did you will easily fall in love with the culture and want to stay forever to grow with the company.

Cons

There is no room for professional growth. Corporate jobs are being filled laterally by people from other districts instead of promoting benches within the market. Department stores can ruin the Clinique culture and leave very talented consultants and managers feeling overwhelmed and helpless.

The best career choice I could have ever made. I have never regretted my choice for over 20 years.

Business Outlook

Pros

The best education in the cosmetics industry. Clinique has dermatological roots that have been reinforced by giving consultants a comprehensive and ever evolving education. I wouldn't be the person I am today without this.

Cons

Having to work in certain retailers. To keep turn over low, a new hire should be given a reasonable hourly wage. In my experience, Clinique has been willing to offer this to their new hires, but the retailer has not always been willing to follow suit. This sometimes backfires, and the company looses a potentially great candidate.
