Vapid, Cutthroat, and Appalling - Anonymous employee L'Oréal Employee Review

Pros

The perks of the job were nice (company store, expense accounts, etc)

Cons

Image matters more than substance throughout the entire company. A bunch of well-put-together airheads walking around acting catty and cliquey. If you're not French you're at a huge disadvantage and looked down upon if you work closely with colleagues or have a reporting structure up to people who are French. Capable and effective people are overlooked for promotion in lieu of people who are pretty or whose only talent is internal political brownnosing. Marketing at this company is not REAL marketing, it's taking orders from Paris and seeing how best you can plug European products into American shelves. Marketing at L'Oreal USA = merchandising. Managers throughout the company are horrible to their employees because the tone at the top promotes such behavior. You're expected to constantly be working and personal time seemed to be considered sinful and lazy.

Pros

Great benefits, glamorous leadership, investment in AI and tech, available career pathing (if you live in the right location) and great access to trainings and development.

Cons

Culture has shifted and is ambiguous. There has been a very clear re-prioritization of NYC focused career pathing while if you live in another location, you are expected to re-locate (with little financial help or cost of living adjustments), or be stagnant in your career pathing. There used to be more distinct opportunities outside of Manhattan or New Jersey sites. It’s New York metro or no where which contradicts how the brands need to react because the United States is a huge country that needs various POVs. Internally, leaders are not as transparent about organizational aspirations. Additionally, a company that used to compensate well has halted on that trajectory and becoming less competitive.
