Get back to the original roots and watch the politics.

Pros

Good benefits and a lot of traveling. Company very reasonable on amount of money you can spend while traveling compared to other big corporations that book you on cheap hotels and make you flight on your own time.

Cons

Nothing is perfect. You have to wait a year for your stock to become vested.

Pros

The products are amazing, and the company is sound! I'm in love with Prevage. I really believe in it. And Double Density Mascara is the best ever made.

Cons

The pay could be better, and advancement isn't always possible, but then again, no one ever really leaves the company once they start working for Arden.

Advice to Senior Management

Honestly, freelance artists aren't paid the same rate as other companies. Arden offers about 5 to 7 dollars less than other companies to artists. And I personally believe that if Arden would expand the freelance budget, it would create more excitement and interest in the brand. Everyone knows the skincares is second to none, but not as many see Arden as an artistry line, and that needs to change. Besides, the artists always sell the skincare anyway. :)

Pros

u get paid good an ur hours are good .they work with you.

Cons

just the standing on your feet.

Pros

if you like being bored, it gives you ample time to stare into a wall of shampoos and think about life.

Cons

Very cliquey environment with other employers out to make you look bad. Competitive, cut-throat, gossipy and your work hours will change rapidly without your consent.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop being terrible people.

Pros

The co-op relationship was great because of the employees, and the product.

Cons

Poor management. VERY poor communication and goal execution strategy.

Advice to Senior Management

Washington has HUGE growth potential.

Pros

The company offers very fair compensation, fairly competitive with other similar businesses. They also offer great discounts on products and spa services which is an enormous plus as a female employee.

Cons

I was not very impressed with the management of the company. I always felt that things were somewhat disorganized and that their was a bad habit of playing favorites.

Advice to Senior Management

I would highly recommend that there be more rules regarding how to treat employees. I saw technicians treated very unfairly and also found myself being belittled by certain members of the management.

Pros

Company prefers to promote from within.

Cons

Salaries are on the low side

Advice to Senior Management

Lower cost for benefits
