Pros

Cute office, nice snacks, interesting work events, nice makeup products

Cons

A lot of mean girl culture here, people aren't bringing each other up. It feels like every person for themselves. The work here is insane and ridiculous. It is expected for you to basically work overtime every day. Forget having a life or a partner or friends. Your hard work is basically not appreciated and it's expected for you to work even harder and faster. There is no work life balance whatsoever in this aspect. Compensation is very low for the field given how much money these makeup companies actually make.

10 Hour Work days in the office are normal...

Pros

Great Brands, a handful of awesome co-workers. Base + Bonus good, but if you consider all the hours you put in the job, you're better off working at Mc Donalds.

Cons

In addition to 10 hour days in the office, you'll be spending more hours at home trying to catch up on emails. Not a great company if you have kids. Highly inefficient company. 8-10 meetings a day. Instead of working smarter, you'll be spinning your head in circles. All departments have silos and instead of helping each other,it can get confrontational. Management is very wishie washie.
