Pros

If you are a recent grad or have 1 or 2 years experience and are looking for some very basic tactical downstream marketing experience with little strategic thought, and you live close by, then you might give it a go for a year or two.

Cons

If you are an experienced marketer looking for a company where you can make an impact, have access to performance numbers, a career path, professional development, and want to be respected within the organization....then RUN AS THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU! Cynosure is a revolving door for experienced marketers because everyone soon realizes the leadership for marketing is the lap dog for sales and there is no true leadership in the department. Marketing is not respected within the organization and the company tries to say they move quickly in "Cynosure Time" to cover the fact no one does any planning. Compensation is below average and the benefits as well. The "story" sounds good while interviewing, but the company has a terrible reputation amongst recruiters. Read the other reviews and you will see a consistent theme. There is definitely a "the emperor has no clothes" situation on what is told to the senior leadership and marketing leadership manages up to make sure the senior team has no idea of what really happens in the department.

Pros

They have the hottest product in Aesthetics in 2026. Even though they fired the marketing team that created XERF. There are incredible Pros if you are one of the twelve or so Sales leaders who make tremendous salaries.

Cons

The company is not financially healthy. Despite having the hottest product in the industry right now, expenses are out of control, and the company will not be profitable. That means that Sales will receive massive commissions, but all other corporate employees will receive little to no bonus. This company exists to make a small group of salespeople very very wealthy. At least this year, the “I’m so proud of myself for being at P-Club!” social media posts didn’t happen. It’s easy to figure out who is on The List, because they all directly report to the same person. There is no moral or ethical compass. You will be asked to travel internationally without a work visa. I’m pretty sure lying to Customs is a bad idea. You will be asked to never discuss whether equipment is reusable. You will do anything to make the sale. The toxicity is soon playing out in court in LA, with a sexual harassment case soon starting.
