There is a popular saying at L'Oreal... I HATE MY JOB! This company is by the far the worst company I have worked for. Employee moral is unbelievable low. If you are not French, you can forget about moving ahead in the company.
This company has the worst corporate culture. As you can imagine... a French beauty company based in NYC. Couldn't get any worse.
Hours are long and the attitude and backstabbing is thick! The only benefits of working at L'Oreal are the free products, better-than-industry-average pay and good benefits.
Senior managers have zero management skill. They are only looking after themselves and not interested in grooming subordinates. Lower level employees are treated like garbage.
Since the company is mostly women and gay men (at the lower levels), there is a lot of catfighting and backstabbing. Don't trust anyone, is another motto.
This is really true about L'oreal? I am about to graduate in May with my masters in Molecular BIology and Microbiology. I have taken several SCC courses and I have bought many textbooks in cosmetic science so that I can better myself. I have met 3 people who work at L'oreal in color cosmetics, two of which are Level 2 scientists and they say its amazing. This is where I hoping to go when I graduate. If this is truly not a good company then were what cosmetic science companies in NJ can I apply to? Thanks!
I hate l'oreal. Stuck in a dead end role surrounded by utter morons who pretend to be smart. There is a lot of bitching, gloating, egotism and I really hate it. Just saying up and leaving! Molecular biology hints you are looking for a scientific sort of role. That might be funner than the office trash I am in. I am a scientist stuck in a non science role due to the tough economic climate. I say: give it a go and see if you like or hate it. I for one know it sucks!
