Pros

Free products, get paid for taking classes.

Cons

You are not empowered to better the company, everything has to go up to corporate and once it goes there, it's mayhem and you never get an answer back. The raises/bonuses are beyond insulting. It's supposed to be a company that supports/empowers women, right? Why not pay them what they are worth and allow them to grow? Also, you really killed business opportunities for the estheticians that paid thousands to get an esthetic education when you allowed Ulta to sell your products for a discounted price. Also, when you sell products online with free shipping with orders over $50, you REALLY killed your flagship stores numbers, which cut your employees paychecks because the goals for them didn't go down.

Pros

Education is unmatched Good product Good benefits

Cons

Where do I begin?? I wish I read the reviews on this company before applying. All previous ratings are 100% true. I will never understand how a company of the stature is so unorganized. Unrealistic sales goals set by top heavy management. Sales goals have greed written all over them. The original mission statement does not apply anymore. "To bring success and respect to the professional skin therapist through excellent education, innovative products and outstanding customer service"....maybe back in the day but now this is just a lie. If bringing respect to the professional skin therapist means partnering with a large drug store like chain and causing many hard working, independently skin therapists to go out of business then.... It's just sad! Micromanaging is an understatement! The Business Consultants are forced to work themselves sick with nothing to show for their hard work and no appreciation what so ever. The turnover in the company speaks for itself. Marketing is behind the times. The CEO shows no emotion for the brand and that is discouraging. Bonus structure is changed constantly and is always made harder to reach but mostly changed if business consultants are actually meeting their goals. This doesn't drive hard working business consultants to work harder with the company it drives them into the arms of other businesses where they will make the money the deserve! Business Consultants are expected to be two steps ahead while the company as a whole is two steps behind. Tools for properly executing jobs are provided halfway into the month. Opening accounts isn't as easy as it was due to over saturation=harder to make targets=more turnover=low moral=wasted time hiring new staff when this cycle is continuous!

Pros

Dermalogica is an excellent brand and product line with great visionaries.

Cons

I always thought people who have a problem with management, are the problem. Never in my lengthly career have I had an issue with management or a co-worker until now. This past year I've seen lower management as incompetent and completely lacking of integrity.
