Pros

I have met some of the most energetic and passionate people I know at Maesa. It is a very intense environment and because the pace is so fast, I did not get much formal training. I picked things up and ran with them. I like this entrepreneurial environment. This is a place to learn and grow. There are many different types of business models and a large variety of beauty and fragrance products. It has been great to see how many different brands work. Pay will depend on what you negotiate.

Cons

There has been a lot of turnover. The fact is that this type of pace and environment is not for everyone. Most roles, including my own, are very demanding and you have to be hungry for challenges and responsibly. If you get a manager you do not work well with, Maesa will not be a fun experience. There are a few people who make working very difficult. You will find these types everywhere, but it is worth noting they are here.

Pros

I've been here for a few years and Like any company, there are good days and challenging days, but I think some of the recent reviews don't paint the full picture. This is a fast-paced beauty company with an entrepreneurial, startup mindset. Priorities can shift quickly, and there are definitely times when things get busy, but that's part of working in this industry. If you enjoy solving problems, wearing multiple hats, and working with smart, passionate people, you'll likely thrive here. One thing I've found is that transparency goes a long way. If you're open with your manager about your workload or need support, they're willing to help prioritize and find solutions. No workplace is perfect, but I've always felt that communication is encouraged. Because it's such a collaborative environment, you'll work with a lot of different personalities and cross-functional teams. Being adaptable, having a positive attitude, and developing a thick skin will definitely help you succeed. This probably isn't the best fit if you're looking for a slow-paced environment with highly predictable days. But if you're energized by building brands, moving quickly, and making an impact, Maesa offers a lot of opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Fast pace can be challenging at times, priorities can change quickly, and you'll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, but that's also what makes the work exciting.
