Pros

Good benefits PTO, lower level management is understanding

Cons

Top down leadership has changed. Poor leadership and communication. Management closest to the team is not given the authority to actually manage the team. Micro management from the top is killing the business and the culture with no reward as things continue to crumble.

Fast-paced environment offers growth but demands adaptability

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.

From vibrant community to hollow experience under new leadership

Pros

The individual teams and individual contributors are the only thing that will keep you afloat

Cons

If I could give a negative rating I would. For the first couple of years it was crazy but fun & exciting. They treated employees well & made up for the intense workload with happy hours, and general employee engagement. When the latest leadership changed all of that disappeared. Workload doubled, rewards were reduced to an honorable mention at town hall. They didn’t even have a holiday party last year. Function for function, they will gaslight, and pull the wool over your eyes. It’s so sad to see a company that once had a vibrant and inclusive community disintegrate into a Mean Girls-esque hollowed out version of itself. Ask anyone & you’ll be hard pressed to find a net positive experience.
