Pros

Beauty experience, that’s it lol

Cons

If you’re looking to feel completely drained and undervalued, this is the place. It’s easily the most unprofessional work environment I’ve experienced, and that’s saying a lot. Management often uses fear-based tactics, telling employees things like they won’t get hired anywhere else or won’t succeed beyond this role, just to keep them from leaving. It creates a really toxic atmosphere where you’re constantly made to feel like you’re not good enough. The company itself has a lot of potential, but the focus is stuck on low-quality, clickbait-style content rather than actually building something meaningful. Any attempt to bring fresh ideas or elevate the brand gets shut down immediately. There’s a strong resistance to change, almost like they’re determined to stay outdated. Leadership is extremely reactive and unprofessional, often making decisions based on emotions rather than strategy. On top of that, employees are monitored on cameras and even have their conversations listened to, which feels invasive and uncomfortable. It might be okay if you’re just looking to gain some quick experience, but beyond that, it’s not worth your time. And if you do end up here, take everything leadership says with a grain of salt.

Pros

you form trauma-bonds with your co-workers *which is not a good thing*

Cons

I would just scroll past the job posting. There is minimal onboarding or formal training, and employees are expected to figure things out on their own. While self-directed learning can be valuable, in this environment, there is little opportunity for growth. Most tasks involved skills I already possessed before joining. Leadership, including the CEO and CCO, often makes decisions that feel emotionally driven and ego-centered. There is a noticeable lack of respect for employees’ time, and staff (which they hardly have) are frequently expected to respond immediately to demands without appropriate time and compensation. Promises of growth and advancement rarely happen, especially given that their turnover rate is so high, and the workplace culture often feels more retaliatory than supportive. There is also a constant lack of communication between the CEO and CCO, and they frequently change creative direction and expectations, which makes it difficult to know what needs to be done. This environment is toxic and unprofessional, and management can be so performative that it feels extremely uncomfortable to be around. Proceed with caution before moving forward with them. The pay is not worth the stress.
