Pros

Hybrid schedule. Nice office. Summer Fridays.

Cons

Zero infrastructure. Unrealistic goals. Turnover unmatched. Incompetent dinosaur talking heads posing as leaders. Insane workloads. Not setup for success- lack of leadership alignment pits departments against one another. Operations & Project management is a joke. Every deadline missed. No onboarding, no clear roles and responsibilities. Appalling lack of diversity. roles & realities misrepresented. Utter Chaos with a high school level of emotional maturity. Old boys club will openly talk about employees looks valued over job performance. mentally taxing environment for anyone who’s not thin, white and straight. “successful” employees are miserable workaholics with no lives outside of work.

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.
