Clinique Reviews

Pros

It's a great skin care line, that has a following of customers of over fourty years. It practically sales itself. Clinique provides over six hundred dollars in free cosmetics to it's sales associates each year. And our Clinique executive and coordinaters at my location are the best support team.

Cons

You work varied hours each week. And most of it will be weekends and closing shifts.

Pros

All teams have a lot of integrity and the brand stays true to its core heritage of being rooted in dermatological expertise and making highly efficacious skincare accessible to everyone.

Cons

As the #1 skincare brand in the world, it is a large organization and requires a lot of perseverance, patience, and relationship building to make progress and get teams aligned on goals and priorities.

Pros

I worked in a director-level role at Clinique from 2017 - 2019. Another reviewer specifically called out the copy department as the reason for their mental health deterioration and, while I am not minimizing their feelings, I can state that this was not my experience. The global copy department ( and the creative dept at large) was the reason why I remained at Clinique for so long -- despite a disconnect from other departments and a lack of creative opportunity, senior-level EDs provided a space where I could grow and feel appreciated while challenged. My best work happened because of their support and since leaving, the opportunities I've found came from my time there. Although ultimately it wasn't the best fit, the experience was invaluable.

Cons

I know some of these things have improved since I left, but broadly as a company there was a misuse of time management and a lack of communication.

Pros

Great perks. It was mandatory to go to educational seminars which were so fun. This gave you the chance to get to know your team members and even other team members from other districts. You also got to take home lots of goodie bags including all of the new products that were newly launched or about to be launched. I received base pay plus commision which is always nice. I also had a great discount on all of the products and every few months I got gratis (free amount of money to buy Clinique products) usually I would get around 300$ at a time to spend which was awesome. Clinique really ensures you know everything about the products you are selling and I thrive on expertise.

Cons

Sometimes reaching sales goals can be difficult especially when online shopping has such a large presence now. You have to get more creative and work harder to get the commision than beauty advisors used to.
