Pros

benefits, employee discount, summer fridays

Cons

Pushing so hard to make a number, at all costs. Over filling the retailers to the point that they wont take any more product. Lack of proper field presence. It was like we threw product out there and hope it would stick, while our competitors ran circles around us. having to go through so many approval processes that we often times missed the boat on opportunities for advertising and promotions Departments that don't talk to each other. Marketing running the company rather than sales. It was so backwards. Sales should not have to beg to make things happen a CEO who was so involved in the details that no one could get anything done. She was in the details but didn't understand them. We were all constantly running in circles to make reports rather than focusing on the business. And last but not least, a company that eliminates their entire sales force claiming a new field based structure. Which isn't possible in this business. Wake up. The people you have in place now are all talk and no action. This company is going to go under, and under fast. People are not disposable. Where is the loyalty to the people who were loyal to you? Such a waste. Unfortunately butter LONDON is being laughed at by every other cosmetic company. The senior management drove it in to the ground. It is so sad.

Pros

Short Fridays, free snacks, discounted/free product

Cons

They do not value there employees. You are a cog in the machine and if you malfunction for even a moment you are pushed out and replaced. There is little to no employee development. You better know how to do your job perfectly right out of the gates because they give no room for mistakes or learning. The leadership does not really seem to know what they are doing or how to manage their teams. Again, showing that you value someone and working to grow their skills & passion for your company would lead to stellar work! They've let go multiple employees who were so passionate about the company and have kept so many who really seem to not care that much; it's such a shame! The company has very little money & poor sales so employees are doing multiple jobs for little pay. I know people who are forced to live at home with their parents because the pay cannot cover their basic living costs in Seattle. Annual raises are given only to the leadership because they cannot afford to give raises to everyone, even those who were well deserving. This obviously leads to unhappy, low motivated employees. The President seems to not really know how to run a business. The environment is very cliquey; I feel like I was back in my college sorority. Overall, it was a bad work experience!
