This company is a disaster. You will hate working here without a doubt. Your leaders will be disorganized and lazy. They will pawn off work onto you. You will be tasked to work on things that have nothing to do with the company and more to do with personal insta feeds.
COMMUNICATION:
Communication at this company is public shaming. You will be yelled at and chewed out in front of everybody. The only question is how often.
EMPLOYEE TURNOVER:
Over my time at Beautycon, I saw too many people come and go. Some quit, most were fired on the whim of the CEO or Department heads. The turnover rate is so bad that you will be one of the older employees if you make it through six months.
WORK CULTURE:
Don’t be fooled by their “no labels” mission statement. Labels will be pinned on you every day. Introverts are seen as lazy and as a deficit to the company. People will talk behind your back and only see your flaws. I’ve seen good people shed tears over being called terrible things by coworkers, bosses and the CEO.
YEARLY REVIEWS:
If you take a job here and you want a raise, you have to threaten to quit. Otherwise, you won’t get anything except a title change.
OVERALL:
Do yourself a favor and skip over Beautycon. You won’t be happy here. Now, will you make friends? Yes! Just like how soldiers become brothers through their shared trauma. You meet great people and the smiles on people’s faces at the convention almost make the job worth being treated like an object.
If you need the work, just keep your head low and stay as invisible as possible. As soon as management decides they don’t like you, no amount of good work will save you from the constant belittling and the fear of losing your job on a daily basis.
