      Great Salary / Poor Work Environment

      Pros

      Arizona! Great People at the management level and below, unless they have all fled… which many have. Wonderful salary for Arizona and ability iconic brands.

      Cons

      Micro-management from from German HQ. Poor decision making creates excess workload. Mindless reporting. Do not value individual thinking or creativity - they value people who agree with them and do as they say without making waves. Elitist attitude regarding what the American consumer and American employee "should" like and accept.

      Pros

      I can't think of any besides free laundry detergent and a convenient office location.

      Cons

      Zero leadership, long hours, crappy benefits, tons of politics, no customer focus, only worried about making a number.

      Competitive and bent on catching up with L'Oreal. Efficient and process-oriented, but creativity hampered by hierarchy.

      Pros

      Very efficient, process-oriented and quick-to-market. One will learn a lot about project management. There is a focus on innovation and trends. There is hunger and passion to be #1.

      Cons

      This is a perspective based on working in the global office. It is very political and hierarchal. It has a "Devil Wears Prada" environment and sometimes you wonder who you can trust. It is management based on fear. Employee feedback is very subjective, with comments sometimes going like, "Don't be so [insert nationality here]." Consumer needs is not the focus, but rather what management thinks will work or not.
