Kate Somerville Reviews

Salaries do not match the brand image and corporate location. Considers themselves 'prestige' but pay their employees much lower than market value. If you want to further your career, do not work here. Promotions are given to a select few who like to go directly to the CEO to complain and whine. No employee development whatsoever. Likes to recruit outside talent, but fail to grow their employees who have been at the company for many years. No real perks or benefits than the standard health insurance and 10 vacation days/year. No company lunches EVER and holiday parties stopped after 2013. Hopefully management becomes better in a few years but who knows how long that will take. Also, corporate office is way too small maybe around 40 employees max, which leads to TOO MUCH GOSSIP. Very negative corporate culture and emotionally/mentally exhausting to keep up. The morale in this office is depressing. The employee turnover has been extremely high these past few years, and you know it's bad when upper management starts leaving and fails to be replaced.

Increasing TOXIC working environment from already TOXIC environment, it's impressive how there's no group lawsuits brought to them in my opinion. CEO is all PR PR PR, no real product development, no valuing employees. Just someone who's having midlife/identity crisis and abandoning the brand core value completely. All he cares about is influencers, not good quality products which is what made us a good brand. Sadly no more. No planing, or the plans that do even matter because they can change anytime for no real rhyme or reason Upper managements goal and only goal is to please Unilever
