They make great products people love.
Easy to get discount product.

Cons

Very slow advancement.
Very little training. The little training there is not respected or considered favorably by potential hirers.
No career planning - all advancement requires you apply and network as if each brand were a separate company
They do not value advanced degrees
Upper management (Director and above) makes all important decisions
To be promoted, you are expected to already have been doing higher level/additional work. You are not promoted and than encouraged to grow into the role.
Work culture varies drastically between brands.
Low pay - about 75% of pay at competitors for comparable positions.
Surprising little work is done by external agencies so internal teams do a lot of non-strategic work.
Slow to innovate, except in the digital space.
Not at all ethnically diverse workplace and almost no effort to change that

Advice to Senior Management

Management should amp up training program and university recruiting. Talent should be identified and cultivated.

Pros

-Nice discount
-They do a good job of training new employees and making sure everyone knows about the new products

Cons

There is too much focus on sales numbers, especially on part time sales. Managers seem unconcerned about state of economy. Also constantly having to preform facials on customers can be very draining.

Advice to Senior Management

Relieve the stress! Stop creating a competitive nature among store and employees with frivilous prizes and small money bonuses. People would be much happier if they were compensated for the work we put into the job.
