Pros

Used to be great product, but due to cost cutting product is now a money grab vs. quality. Used to have great people, now run by ex-pats who care or know nothing about US business (or the people they make products for). Great location to local transportation, but really bad to ride on after it gets dark.

Cons

I am unsure how the positive ratings keep occurring, and the negative ones get deleted. But I know for a fact, the CEO has bribed or better yet "highly encouraged" his new ex-pat employees transferred from India or Dubai to write them but its not at all true. Dont be blinded by the story they sell in the interview room, walk around and see how sad people look. The culture is very dismal with the gloomy grey walls even compliment the dreary atmosphere. The company was founded to service the black woman hence the name Namaste, to honor the beauty within, yet the new regime just wants to honor the coins in their pockets. They have made so many critical changes to the product to make more money from it that the once great quality product is now not worth the money they charge. Its like they are trying to squeeze blood from turnip but the well is dry! Use whatever metaphor you want, but the company is just B A D with a very egotistical and narcissistic leader, Raul Chaudry. Dabur is a reputable company overseas and have great and smart people there, but here they have let the bottom barrel talent come in and run it as if they don't care. Its like letting the little spoiled kids burn it down so they can file a business loss and retain some of their monies they bought the company for. The company was purchased for over 100M about 12 years ago, but now look to see that they are only valued at way less than half of that now (about $40M), so you tell me what that means. Sad to see such a company go to waste.

Pros

I don't know what it was like to work with Gary Gardner, but from all of the stories that I've heard, it sounded like a wonderful, unbelievable experience. He seems like an amazing man whose shoes are hard to fill.

Cons

Where do I begin? Let's see... • The 'us' versus 'them' culture • You may get treated like a second class citizen, depending... • You will get ahead if you brown nose. So be a good brown noser or else! • It seems as though the foosball table is the most important. All hail the foosball table. • The snooty, haughty, and narcissistic attitudes • Unexpected cuts, which makes people afraid and stressed out • Elevators are constantly breaking down • Too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer • One employee may have to do the jobs of 3-5 people • Ridiculous expectations to be met • Not much work/life balance • Nasty bathrooms. • People not washing hands after using said bathroom and putting hands in the food instead of using utensils. • There's an endless laundry list of cons. This is an AA Hair Care Company and AA women empowerment is now non-existent

Pros

401k match is 6% Flexible hours Offers a starting bonus

Cons

Facility doesn’t have onsite IT - two weeks without a computer was the eye opener that I had made the wrong decision. Training was terrible as a result of not having a computer and clearly being understaffed. Terrible environment you can hear upper management yelling at one another and it’s apparently acceptable to be rude to everyone at all times - zero professionalism In my first week they laid off a handful of people and didn’t say anything
