Evil people and ridiculous policies - Anonymous employee KITSCH Employee Review

Working at KITSCH has been a great experience. The company has a strong brand identity and a creative, fast-paced environment that keeps things exciting. It’s a great place to learn and grow, especially if you’re interested in beauty and lifestyle products.

No cons. There’s a positive culture where employees feel valued and motivated to contribute.

Good experience to have on a resume if you can manage a high-stress environment, but generally unsustainable for the long term.

Toxic Leadership Dynamics: The company is run by a married executive team whose personal conflicts frequently spill into professional meetings, creating an unstable and uncomfortable working environment. Poor Governance & Micromanagement: Financial management and operations are handled poorly, with management relying heavily on micromanagement, snide communication, and an insincere HR department that fails to support staff. High Turnover & Burnout: The corporate culture relies on burning out employees and replacing them within a year. There is a distinct, aggressive shift in how employees are treated once they give notice or are targeted for departure. Compromised Workplace Culture: To succeed, employees are expected to assimilate into a toxic, highly political hierarchy. True employee well-being is entirely disregarded in favor of profit margins, despite leadership publicizing a contrary, people-first image. Undercompensation: Compensation is significantly below market rate for the workload and emotional toll expected.
