Pros

In the early years, this company was such a great brand to work for. great vision, leadership, great director. Amazing Creative Director NARS and Lena Koro, Uzo. Inspirations. Former CEO moved away unfortunately. He was a huge heart of the brand

Cons

In the last couple of years, a lot of changes with high levels of turn over and lack of compassion for employees. Straying away from brand heritage. People no longer matter; burn and churn. It is unfortunate. Lot's of catty behavior and many unqualified people in positions that can really make this brand reach it's potential. I really hope the founder sees' what his vision has become. It is not always about the money. Another big brand is what this company aspires to become version 2.0 of! Limited opportunities for growth and people who decide to leave are hit with the door on the way out, meaning it is a very cold departure despite the time invested.

Pros

Good products. International... nothing truly outstanding.

Cons

NARS is a company designed around inexperienced, catty and abusive executives - not efficiencies nor competencies. Toxic politics and double standards are encouraged and perpetuated by global and regional upper management team, including HR.

Pros

Nars was an amazing brand to work for with so many opportunities. Educational team were amazing too!! Everyone was so lovely on it

Cons

If you're working for the brand in Ireland the area manager is an absolute nightmare to work for. She is very condicending and rude. The way she speaks to people and treats them is nothing short of disgraceful. How she has lasted that long in the job baffles me
