Great product...unrealistic goals
Account Development Specialist (Former Employee), Dallas, TX – April 1, 2013
The product is one of my all time favorites and I loved being a rep for them. But, the goals set in place by management who never worked this market are impossible to reach. The constant feeling of failure was to much to take. The was not much guidence or new ideas from above when the same old techniques did not work. However, love and belief in the – more... product kept me there and trying to push thru. – less

ACCOUNT DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST no advancement
MARKET ADS (Former Employee), NYC, NJ – January 16, 2013
Pros: benefits day 1
Cons: no work/life balance, travel outside of territory you are hired for, no bonus but event goals must be met, no initial training until convenient for them.
Company has decent products, basically the French cousin to Estee Lauder. Very corporate and lots of politics, this requires lots of brown nosing! Def not a strategic move if you are trying to climb the corporate ladder, this is a position that is constantly open because it is basically a glorified freelancer as well as cpunter help. The hiring manager – more... sells it as a coordinator role, IT IS NOT. They give you a bunch of junk to haul around because you are a real life selling puppet. – less

dropped me like a hot potato
Trainer/Educator/Account Executive (Former Employee), Southeastern Mass – January 8, 2013
Cons: bad managers and horrific job with managing events, time management and utilizing talents that they had in their people.
I earned them A LOT of money, created a program event that was actually used INTERNATIONALLY-and literally-my position was changed-they put me through the charade of an interview-and all the while had someone else already hired. I went to work every day with a smile on my face, and was treated VERY poorly. BAD company to work for.

Overall summary
Retail Manager (Former Employee), Brea, CA – November 22, 2012
Pros: free cosmetics, great training, great products!
Cons: luxury lines are almost impossible to sell. too many returns.
Clarins is a dying breed. Great products, but packaging and advertising is horrible. Really wonderful products and research. American know nothing about how great this line is. Too bad they will not step into this century because they could be number one!
The economy may take this line down. But in Europe this line is number one. All the products are – more... great. Esp the body products. They really work! Make up is not one of their strengths. Americans prefer to cover their problem skin. European women take care of their skin and are happy to show it off with less make up. They need a great commercial or celebrity to shoot this line to the top. – less

High Overturn
retail sales associate (Former Employee), 10028 – September 20, 2012
Pros: free products and samples, pay well, some clients are friendly
Cons: very short breaks or no breaks, work you to the core, racist manager
It's a great company, if you don't mind not having a steady schedule. This is not an environment for single mothers or pregnant woman, because so much is expected of you. It's rare you get a weekend off, usually the managers reserves those days for themselves. They do prefer to hire non-blacks or people who are not too ethnic-afro looking.

high demanding work environment with very little growth
ACCOUNT DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST (Current Employee), New York, NY – August 27, 2012
Pros: benefits/401k, great products
Cons: bad management, dishonest employees, no growth
This is a retail job, you will be on your feet most of the time and will not get the respect you deserve from the doors you go to. The company does not care about your opinions, so if you are looking for growth this is not the position you want to get into. Also work can become very demotivating when you work with people who are only out to get customers' – more... money, and not truly listen to what customers' needs are. It's a shame that the culture has come to this! Please hire articulate individuals who represent the brand better!

Some co-workers are excellent to work with, but majority are very dishonest and gossipy. Overall, most of my co-workers are not happy with this position. – less

I like the products and the clients are awesome!
Product Manager Per Diem (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 17, 2012
Pros: travel, meet people, work with great products, different retailers offer product
Cons: counter managers eccentric, unclean counters, foundation not available for every complexion, unstable schedule, schedule may change at the last minute.
I believe that there should be potential to grow with the company as you consistently create sales, as I did. However, this company did not allow a chance for stability. I enjoyed the clientele and also the organic products used in some of their product ingredients. The hardest part of the job is when the retail doors don't book enough appointments. – more... I learned that you have keep yourself progressing because the leadership does not give you a chance to work and prove yourself and also, your schedule may change at the very last minute so you can not depend on any set schedule. – less

empresa com cultura e valores tradicionais muito agradavel de se trabalhar
consultora de beleza (Former Employee), porto – November 6, 2012
O facto de ser uma consultora itenerante fez com que conhece-se muitas pessoas que me ajudar a crescer como profissional.
A direção da empresa sempre deu muito valor ao factor humano da empresa dando sempre incentivos para motivar o profissionalismo.
No geral uma boa relação entre colegas principalmente com os da area do porto.
A parte mais dificil – more... do trabalho foi de facto em tempos de crise poder desenvolver um bom trabalho.
A parte mais agradavel do trabalho foi ver que mesmo com todas as adversidades conseguiamos metas inesperadas. – less
