Pros

Staff has some very talented individuals who were very nice to work with.

Cons

The CEO/Owner Dr. Joel Schlessinger is a micromanager who intimidates and publicly embarrasses employees resulting in culture of fear. He regularly hires very young people he can treat this way and has a very high turnover rate because of it. Dr. Schlessinger's reputation is also very poor in his industry. He spends a good amount of money in online reputation management and often pressures his employees to leave positive reviews online to counter-balance real views. Even many of the reviews on his own skin care site are manufactured. Do not trust the positive reviews here or elsewhere. They likely came from him and his staff. I know many good people who have left the company quickly and gone on to be successful elsewhere. Lovely Skin is a horrible place to work.
