Pros

I can't think of too many good reasons if you have experience with other prestige lines in the Beauty Industry. But if you get in good with upper management, they MIGHT promote you after a year or so. But I've watched several others that have been with the company for a while get the opportunity to take up more responsibility and not.get paid for it.

Cons

Like most other lines, there's lots of politics, which is kind of expected. They expect a lot of you, and don't want to pay you or treat you with respect. Majority of management is very judgemental, childish and uneducated. Makes it hard to work for someone that treats you like a child, is unqualified for their position and doesn't respect you as a human being. I've watched managers talk about employees, only dictate what needs to be done, but do nothing themselves and also snap a several employees in public (including swearing, belittling and pointing).

Napoleon Perdis Response

THANKYOU... What a review! I earnestly hope you feel alot better now . In response to your criticism: Promotion happens as a consequence of superior performance and is not to be taken for granted. Not sure that mastery can be achieved under a year. When you do get given extra responsibility, one often needs to learn to earn in order to climb the ladder of success. I guess what is managing to one person can be perceived as politics to another... The poor behaviour of management you describe can exist in workplaces however we do our best to educate, manage and inspire people to avoid it. Thankyou again for this very frank, albeit unflattering and specific feedback. All the best. Kind Regards.
