Pros

remote, decent benefits, no more to be said

Cons

the environment is really toxic specially when it comes to rising in the ranks, which is not done by effort but WHO you know and how long you’ve know them. Lay off are done without a warning even though you are supposed to be a family.

Decisions regarding employee separations are never easy and are not taken lightly. We empathize with you and understand the position you have been put in due to this employment change. We can only humbly ask that you trust a great amount of thought and consideration is put into making employment decisions such as the one you experienced. Likewise, a significant amount of thought and consideration goes into decisions regarding employee promotions. Merit and the readiness of an employee to perform at the next level are key considerations. To help facilitate conversations regarding development and promotion, MANSCAPED provides resources such as our Career Paths and Leveling Guides, which detail the competencies and skills that employees should be working toward to reach the next level of their career. We sincerely hope that you, and any employee sharing similar sentiments, would reach out to Human Resources and their direct manager to have an open and candid conversation regarding development and any internal opportunities available to them.

Pros

Working at Manscaped has been a truly great experience and easily the best job I’ve ever had. The company genuinely lives its values — not just in words, but in actions every day. People here are encouraged to bring their full selves to work, and individual experiences are truly valued and celebrated. It’s a place where you feel respected, supported, and proud to be part of the team.

Cons

The only “con,” if you can call it that, is that in a smaller company you have to be ready to jump in and help wherever needed. I personally love this because it really creates a team-first environment

It means a lot to hear that MANSCAPED® has been your best work experience and that our values show up in authentic, day-to-day moments. Creating an environment where people feel empowered to be themselves and where individuality is embraced is something we care deeply about. We appreciate the callout on regular check-ins, especially for newer teammates navigating remote life. Staying connected, even when we’re spread across the globe, is something we’re always working to strengthen. The People Team

Pros

It started out as a fun place to work but took a dark turn. They have (and had) the right people to make a great team, but leadership doesn’t seem to know how to utilize them. Everyone (from my vantage point) under leadership is collaborative and trying their best. However, they are accountable for outcomes with no real decision making power, leaving them stressed/burnt out.

Cons

This place is the definition of a toxic work environment: (very) poor leadership, highly disorganized, a lot of blame-shifting, tons of manipulation, minimal support, uneven work distribution, poor communication, gossipy, mentally draining, and ultimately a thankless job. Real concerns are dismissed with poorly-timed humor, which only fans the flames. There’s no synergy within the different departments, which is evident in the work. Their holiday policy and 401K “match” are laughable and their diversity is lacking, across the board. It feels like the leadership team is more focused on self-preservation than actually making changes that could benefit the company. Every employee I've seen speak up has been laid off, despite having valid points that could improve the environment. Their process of weeding people out seems flawed and detrimental to the success of the brand. It’s a shame that so much good talent has come and gone throughout the years. The cherry on top is that your career will not advance from working here. This place values obedience over creativity. Despite having talented people, leadership’s chokehold on virtually everything hinders the brand’s development and success. This job is merely a paycheck, nothing more.
