Pros

LEAVING. Also, being part of the Estee lauder companies, means you can also move to another one of their brands.

Cons

Corporate has been a directionless ship for years. Everyone is running around like headless chickens trying to shove out poor quality work or work that’s okay only because they have blatantly copied other companies. Mediocre/poor quality work by mediocre people. Exclusive cliques, childish behavior from upper management which leaks into company culture, old/slow equipment and work processes. They’re trying to catch up to the rest of the industry, but they never will because the talent, ideas, and competence are not there. False promises from recruitment and hiring managers just to get you through the door. Even HR messed up many things. Any talks about growth opportunities are lies and managers are dismissive and absent. 

They have problems keeping products in stock online and in stores. Employees who stay enjoy being part of a bad internal culture. There is NO reason to consider working here - NO salary, NO title, NO bonus, NO brand name...you will be overworked, undervalued, and underpaid.
