L'Oréal USA Reviews

Pros

Great benefit package and bonuses

Cons

This job has been outsourced to companies who only staff part- time

Advice to Senior Management

Outsourcing will not produce the excellent results previously delivered by a loyal, happy workforce

Pros

-company store where everything is super discounted
-mini field trips that the company requires employees to go on
-great pay especially for an intern

Cons

-senior level management is a little too full of themselves... take their jobs a little too seriously.
-treats everyone below them like they are just that.
-oddly incompetent for their level

Advice to Senior Management

please do your job and speak to people as though they exist and not as though they were literally created to be beneath you in life.

Pros

- Name
- Perks (free things to very discounted items at the company store)
- Worked on big accounts
- Worked with vendors one on one

Cons

- Environment was very competitive and employees were not friendly at all. It was a cutthroat workplace.
- Management was horrible. Salaried employees stayed until late. There was a never-ending list of things to do and stuff to finish. Also it seemed like no one ever got promoted.
- Intern work consisted of sending products / organizing the product closet / keeping inventory / etc. I had to ask for more work because it was so monotonous.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat people better.

Pros

L'Oreal USA has an energetic atmosphere working with outstanding products. Everyday presents new challenges that keep us on our toes and the work days fly by. We get great satisfaction when we provide solutions to users that make their jobs easier. The company benefits are better than any other company I know of. 401k, pension, product discounts, summer half day fridays, quarterly mixers, training classes are encouraged, gym memberships, free on site flu shots and so much more!

Cons

Every company has its cons but I think L'Oreal's are minimal. There are examples of people being overworked but I think it is due to lack of project management with their manager. The company is very marketing focused which can hurt other departments. Very high turnover in marketing.

Advice to Senior Management

Good job with the initiation of the Beauty Shaker awards. It has been a great opportunity to expose our accomplishments to other departments as well a senior management.

Pros

This experience taught me a lot and the workload was real compared to other internships where there is little effect on real business decisions.

Hard to get in full time even after internship unless you know the right people. They are also slow on their delivery of information unless it influences them.

Play a more active role in developing interns into possible full time employees.
