Pros

There are a lot of talented hard-working people there that you can learn a lot from.

Cons

If this company acquires yours, run for the hills as fast as you can. They will make promises to you and your fellow teammates about keeping you on, they'll even officially hire you. But once they've gotten what they need out of you in terms of the transition, your usefulness will be at an end and they will let you go without warning. That's what happened to me and a lot of my teammates when they acquired my company and I went to work for them. The upper management are indeed always in crisis mode and that high-pressure toxicity is paid downward into pretty much each department. They will over-hire middle management and pit you against one-another to decide who stays. I never received any negative feedback regarding my performance but they let me go just the same. The one who made the decision didn't even have the guts to tell me himself. He got my immediate supervisor do to it instead and it was really awkward for both of us. This company will prioritize profits over principle 10 times out of 10 and tell themselves "hey, it's just business." They purposely oversell when they know that they can't fulfill orders and refuse to split ship unless they absolutely have to. Their customer retention philosophy is definitely more churn & burn because there are always more customers out there. Do not go anywhere near this company if you value your own well being.

Pros

If you’re looking for a company that actually walks the talk when it comes to culture, AS Beauty is it. From day one, the environment feels close-knit — People know each other, support each other, and show up for each other in ways that are increasingly rare in corporate settings. The executive team stands out in the best way. They are truly invested in their people, not in a performative way, but in the day-to-day conversations, decisions, and opportunities they create for their teams to grow. It’s clear that the people at the top set the tone, and that tone is one of trust and collaboration. The office itself is beautiful — so much natural light and beautiful 360 views of the city. The location could not be more convenient with easy access to Penn Station commuting from Jersey, Long Island is super easy, making the 4 days in office very feasible. I actually leave the office excited to come back the next day. TLDR: Incredible culture, tight-knit team, stunning office, unbeatable location, strong and people-first leadership.

Cons

Nothing noteworthy at this time.
