Just don’t - Anonymous employee EX1 Cosmetics Employee Review

Only one positive, getting paid for putting up with nothing but non productive critique from a founder who thinks she knows everything there is about beauty.

The whole brand is a con. Managed by a very indecisive founder who only has one leg to stand on “all about the undertones baby”. Come on, there’s thousands of products around selling foundations with yellow under tones. They need to work on their unique selling point, they need to listen to every staff member whether intern or director.

Good central location Challenging opportunities - some positive Looks good on CV

Employed as a trainee/graduate social media & graphic designer but was expected to create advanced graphic design without any in house graphic designers or mentors. Management were rude, some senior staff would speak in french & exclude new members of staff even when there was only a small team in the office Frequently given feedback & told to turn around a task within the last hour of the day, even when the task would need several hours to complete Pay was Minimum wage but you were often expected to stay late without overtime
