Pros
The only 2 positive things are: Origins is part of Estée Lauder, which is well known beauty corporation, and two - the staff concession - you get products at a very discounted price. Luxurious office ( but don't worry you'll never get to work there....)
Cons
However, don't be fooled by the pros- there's a trap. Origins is the most miserable brand out of all in the Corporation. Hence training, coaching, career development, events are cheap and questionable. Brand management is poor, inadequate to the market and extremely biased towards their 'favourites' ( e.g. People with connections) Senior managers have happy life in a brand new polished office in central London with all extras, laptops , mobile phones given, American Express cards, cars etc , while you'll have to work as a donkey and being treated like 'second hand'. UNQUALIFIED, shockingly UNPROFESSIONAL and utterly UNEDUCATED people are managing you. Targets given and retail politics are unrealistic to the market and don't even go near competitors' efforts. Training is a farce! This are some of the main reasons for the brand retail catastrophe. Also, don't even hope to get promoted. Unless you know/befriend the 'right' people. The company has serious ongoing financial problems so stay away from it! Double standards run all the way from the bottom to the top. A total joke of a business! BEWARE: People leaving in great numbers for a reason!
