Pros

Nice office, close to station

Cons

You must be very careful before accepting a role at Vanity Group. The culture, when I worked there, was one of bullying and harassment on a daily basis. Very poor management choices, constant bottlenecks, unrealistic delivery expectations, with absolutely no way to have your voice heard and to feel safe (mentally and emotionally) at work. I have seen the improved reviews of Vanity Group over the last year or so, but I find it very hard to believe the Senior Management could have changed that much since my time there. Work practices and hours were unsustainable for everyone working there. Having left and joined other businesses since, you realise how hard it is to repair the mental scars left by this place, but for those in the same boat as me it is possible to recover from working at Vanity Group after a while. If you have a job offer anywhere else, I would recommend considering it.

Pros

At my time with Vanity Group I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenges, opportunities, and excitement of working for this start-up business, which has grown from strength to strength, both within Australia and internationally. The Founder & Managing Director is very visionary with amazing ideas for his company, which has provided me with the opportunity to advance my career quickly, being promoted across departments. The Managing Director is very supportive and flexible, and has personally helped me on many occasions. I love the caring and family-run environment Vanity Group offers. He always has time to talk with you and listens your ideas and feedback. The Managing Director is very flexible with holidays and time off, with hard work, loyalty and commitment recognised and rewarded. The company is fast-paced, ambitious, where no day is the same. There is constant variety, with something new and exciting happening every day. One of the great things about working for Vanity Group are the amazing skincare brands the business owns and produces, which makes you proud to be here. Vanity Group is not for the feint-hearted. Go-getters progress fast. Under-performers are quickly exposed.

Cons

Little shopping available as office not located in the CBD Sometimes noisy

Pros

The people who work along side you are great and supportive. Good location.

Cons

Senior management not hired to lead, hired to make money. With that mission in mind, the people care goes out the window. Snack bars do not make up for the poor culture cultivated by HR and management. Hierarchical management really sets a us/them tone throughout all departments. Opportunities for growth are stunned by roadmaps that lead to nowhere. Tight budgets mean no support for resources, meaning you are consistently expected to delivery with zero support. Would recommend working here if you wish to go to work and go home. Do not offer feedback as it will be misconstrued and used against you.
