Pros

The people who work there, for the most part, are really engaged in their jobs. They work hard and do their best to deliver. The products are decent relative to the industry, and it's surprising that they're still such a tiny company. Mid-level management works really hard to create a positive working environment, but...

Cons

The CEO isn't a CEO... he's an owner. He doesn't have a degree, he's never worked at a skin care company other than this one, he doesn't understand the challenges of the industry. Management strategies at the top include stalling, ignoring major issues, and waiting for someone else to solve a problem. His solutions undercut his employees, and in general, he treats (and pays) people like they are 100% disposable. As a result, the turnover is pretty high!

Pros

The people were nice and the whole place shuts down around 4;30.

Cons

No support, was hired to do prepress, spent my time learning and creating wiping and flaming technique because the bottle's materials were changed before we started printing. I was stuck not meeting deadlines while I had to deal with a lemon of a printer from Inkcups. Management blamed me for anything that went wrong and even though I was not supposed to be client facing I had to constant keep in communicating with the reps. I was accused of altering labels which needed to be adjust or it would not fit on the bottle. The new production manager pointer the finger at me when things went bad and took all the glory for things I spent weeks on.
