Pros

I should say It was very uncomfortable to read some reviews about Sigma Beauty. It was hard to acknowledge that someone could write something like that. Sigma treats every person, every employee as a family member. I’ve seen people coming and smiling every day in your face and when a hard change comes, they write something very unprofessional. It is simply impossible to justify those actions, especially in a family like environment… We did lose some people, but I should compare it to a fast-moving race car, when you take rough corners, you lose some tread on your tires. It is truly sad to see someone go, but both parties need to consider, that it is for the better and both have opportunities for something new and exciting. If you are honest, hardworking, and not afraid to gain a ton of new knowledge and experience, Sigma will be the right place for you. I should say Sigma is all about its employees. Sigma wants to see people succeed, I personally was sent to trainings and gained a lot of experience. I can say that people are constantly evolving at Sigma. We love to share knowledge here, as it is the only potential to be successful for all of us. At Sigma you can try a variety of jobs, thus you won’t feel bored. Lastly, Sigma is a place of a great opportunities, there is a potential to grow, and believe me, if you are good at what you do, you will be recognized and valued, I truly believe that it is the proper approach to motivate people and help them become smarter. The office Atmosphere is super friendly, we always have events that help us to abstract from the daily routine and relax, play, chat and share our thoughts, I truly love it. Regarding the owners, they are great people. Every time I had a question, suggestion or concern, I was able to talk to them and express myself. What I learned at Sigma is: you don’t need to be afraid to talk to Rene and Simone, they love to listen, and they love to help, again it is both parties that they want to benefit. I know for a fact that they trust people as they shared a lot of personal things with us, such as emotions and their feeling, I trust them! I’ve read that some people are uncomfortable with them, while they are in the office, I have never experienced that, as long as you do your work properly and you love what you do, you will be in good shape. I should compare it to a college, you can’t study the night before an exam, you either do it properly the whole time and become a successful professional, or you fail. Rene and Simone are motivators, they help us find the right way to become successful, and help Sigma evolve, I listened to many of Rene’s motivational talks and I should say, they are very smart, and he knows where he wants Sigma to be, believe me it is hard to come by a person in the 21st century that knows how to properly operate a fast-growing business. Lastly, I want to say that Rene and Simone are very true and sincere people, that strive very hard daily, to keep up with latest beauty industry updates and lead Sigma Beauty to success.

Cons

It would be great if we could be more opened about upcoming promotions and new ideas internally, so people can have enough time to prepare and accommodate. Would be great if people could have a bit more flexibility on hours and can have an option to work from home if needed. Possibly to re-work a PTO policy to allow people gain it in an easier way and use it towards real vacation.

Pros

The coworkers were great. If makeup/brushes get damaged in transit, they offer them for free to employees. You get any new launch for free.

Cons

I literally needed therapy after leaving this company. I wish I was kidding. The male owner comes once a month and will verbally degrade employees to their face in so-called 'meetings'. Actual quotes from him: 1. You are car batteries and if you do not press your start button, I will get a new battery. 2. You will learn to sell when your children begin to starve. 3. You cannot rely on a rich man to marry you. 4. I will kill you, go to prison, and when I get out, I will kill you again. 5. Go ahead and sue me, my lawyers are better than yours. Those are off the top of my head. He will yell at you, belittle your intelligence, then before he leaves he will tell you he loves you and will thank you for your hard work. They also let go nearly 20% of the company and then hosted an 'employee appreciation day' celebration the same week.
