a dynamic rewarding experience!

Pros

The staff are fun to work with and you dont get that dread to go to work feeling each morning! I find it to be always changing so I do not get bored with the same thing day in day out. Our support from our head office in Montreal is great and always respond to my concerns in a very timely manner.

Cons

I am employed as a temp employee because of the current hiring freeze, the down side is I am not a part of the main organization. I have left my resume posted online with the hopes that one day down the line this hiring freeze will be over. I would love this to be my career. It is a great place to work and is close to home!

Pros

The opportunity to get exposed to a variety of markets and people, allows you to learn new skills everyday. Coty has made numerous employee transfers to other countries, where you get to know a new culture, new language, and meet new people. It enables one to see many different approaches to problems and projects. It also widens your world view and global vision of the business. Future leaders need to be cross-functional and international work experiences really help in this regard. There is some work-balance in that you do get the holiday break off, as well as summer Fridays; and the benefits are as good as any other CPG company.

Cons

It is extremely difficult to to get promoted - especially if you are a female; they don't provide opportunities for training and development-seems only the "A" listers get to spend time and exhorbitant amounts of money attending conferences. The competence level of many employees is clearly not top notch, and working 9-5 is the norm for many employees, even when the work is not finished; management would prefer to ignore this and claim it is because you need to offer work-life balance to your employees. Processes are very cumbersome, people work in ivory towers, there is very limited recognition for a job well done, and the opportunity to move up the ladder seems to be reserved for a select few, another words, those who have curried favor with their boss rather than accomplishment based. Accountability is lacking across all functions.

Coty's business model is outdated and is struggling to evolve it....

Pros

The competence level of most employees is extremely low so it is easy to stand out. It is a comfortable environment where employees work 9 to 5 like bureaucrats.

Cons

The Senior Management is extremely weak. You wonder how some of these people made it to VP level. The overall company is averse to risk. They are a leading mass fragrance company but this is a declining market. They have adopted a business model (celebrity fragrance) that is extremely easy to copy.
