Cons
Despite being one of the younger boutique brands in LVMH's cosmetics and perfumes portfolio, Fresh is saddled with LVMH's antediluvian infrastructure and political work culture. Like most large legacy employers of its ilk, Fresh and LVMH are behind the technology curve: Lotus Notes, old CRM, and very paper-based workflow. (I swear many of the employees who work in corporate do most of their work via copy machine, fax, and paper clips.) Hiring practices are based mostly on fit, so some of the employees aren't too bright. The corporate work environment seems to be dominated by older women, many of whom are inefficient because of technical incompetence and a tendency to waste time on gossip. No 401(k) match and limited healthcare plans.
