An amazing company however management needs a reshuffle within shop floors. Benefits within the company are great and I would recommend the company to anyone within the industry but be cautious as the turn over is high.

Amazing family feel and support

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Blackburn, Lancashire - 12 April 2022

Management is great. The brand really makes you feel like you are a part of the family and have a great community and culture. There is also good support and training. You learn a lot about makeup and the products they sell. I worked on a rota basis but i was able to have a lot of input and took childcare into consideration. The best makeup brand to work for. You also get lot's of freebies and discounts! The company really looked after staff during covid. A typical day is trying to bring customers in and tracking sales through the day, keeping the store cleaning and tallying up sales at the end. The sales targets can be daunting at first. It is more about sales than beauty. You do not need to be a beauty expert but just need to learn how to use the products. Helps to have a full face of the brands products on too.

It was a fun place to work for, but management was shocking

Makeup Artist (Former Employee) - Canterbury, Kent - 13 February 2022

Everyone is in each other’s pockets, if you’re not friends with the high up managers you have no chance on progressing. One of the worst jobs I have ever had, horrible people.

Pros

Free lunch when in head office

Cons

Everything

Shifts and retail

Good discount and benefits, lots of free products. However the training isn’t great, and management aren’t very supportive. The hours can be long as it is a retail environment.

Pros

Allocation

Cons

High targets

Overall the working personnel at L’Oréal.

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Bury - 11 January 2022

Overall the working personnel at L’Oréal were great except for one or two workers that were let’s say, not team players. The management, I have never met such a facist group of a management team and they’re getting away with it. Coming from a manager role myself of over 100 personnel, I feel for the workers but, I’m glad it was only a temporary role for myself.

Pros

Early starts (06:00hrs), average wage

Cons

Facist regime, unpredictable hours, suck-ups were favouritised over hard workers on overtime.

Boring , repetitive and terrible management

Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee) - Brentford, Greater London - 5 January 2022

My summary says it all, terrible management, repetitive, long tiring days. No such this as a work life balance and the job was not outlined properly in its description. Overall stressful and for less than £10 not worth it

Not the best

The worst place to work

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Trafford Park, Greater Manchester - 26 July 2020

I worked for this company by proman agency for 1 week and It had been a bad experience. I didn't get properly training but just a colleague explained to me what to do but if I didn't understand something then get rude. Was also very annoying haering colleagues speaking in their language while working I felt it very rude.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Waste of time

Professional and encouraging

Account manager (Current Employee) - Wales - 30 June 2020

IV worked with loreal altogether for over ten years. They are a dynamic company with many sectors and opportunities if you can travel. As a manager I do struggle with my minimum wage. I have a child and a mortgage and I do find I work hard and see little to play with on payday. This is a job for you if you love interacting with people, enjoy a sales environment and are driven.
