Great place to work - though tough to get used to

Pros

L'Oreal is the big entrance to the cosmetics industry. Gives knowledge and insight, allows you to work as the market leader with the retailers. Informal and fun corporate culture. Provides opportunity of responsabilty and execution to anyone - there is much to be done and job descriptions are vague. Extending one's influence is up to you. A great start to a career, after a few years at L'Oreal you are an asset to many companies. A passionate industry to work in, innovative. Allows exposure to top management and to influencing directly the results of a product launch very soon in one's career.

Cons

Very fast paced around product launches. Office politics a must to work your way around issues. Guidance is vague many times, must be able to 'figure it out'. A tough culture for newbies, takes a while getting used to, getting the means to do your job, knowing who does what. Standards of execution are not set straight to entire teams, it's a company that allows each employee to fill objectives in the way they see fit - this has it's pros and cons. High employee rotation. Recognition is achieved by not only doing excellent work, but also by being able to show it off in the right way.

Loreal USA offers fantastic benefits and flexibility to balance a fullfilling career and wonderful personal life!

Pros

Loreal USA is very generous with the full compensation package. Althought the average salary may be average in comparison to similar jobs in the same industry, the complementary benefits package is outstanding. Loreal USA is very flexible and truly cares about a balanced life between professional and personal goals and values. Loreal USA conducts regular anonymous surveys to ensure they are treating employees fairly.

Cons

Loreal USA is a very large company. Working in a remote area it is sometimes hard to identify the correct channel for questions and concerns. I would love an opportunity to spend time at headquarters to truly understand the entire processes of the company.
