Glossier

Though my time working at the Glossier Atlanta popup was short, it was one of the best experiences of my life! My coworkers were amazing (Glossier couldn't have hired a better team), the environment was super upbeat and encouraging, and the perks were great. We would come in for our shift, get changed into our pink jumpsuits, and have a team meeting every single shift, which was a great way to catch up and discuss any problems or positive experiences we had our previous shift. The only major downside was that the environment was super fast paced and it could sometimes be overwhelming on weekends, especially when we were short staffed or employees were taking their breaks. Even though the pop up closed in March, I still talk regularly with my former co-workers, we're all really great friends and I truly love and appreciate everyone I worked with. Everyone loved Glossier and makeup/skincare, and it really showed! Glossy customers are the best, and I had such a great time working on the floor, giving suggestions, and helping customers pick their products. One minor annoyance was that we had to change in and out of our jumpsuits to go on break, and we didn't have our own assigned jumpsuit for the entirety of the popup-- you'd have it for a few days, it gets washed, and then you pick a random one from the pile. I really enjoyed the stability, we had the same hours every week, and it was pretty easy to get shifts covered. Pay was really good for retail, I had mostly positive experiences with management, and overall felt really fulfilled in this job. 

Glossier as a company is wonderful. There are lots of opportunities, and as a start up you can really come out of the experience with lots of new knowledge. Like many companies however, your employees can make or break your experience as well. The hardest part of the job is tackling all the growing pains that start ups bring. But the best part is that they are really invested in making their employees happy, and creating a unique atmosphere compared to other retail environments. My advice would be work hard, be accountable, and mind your business- but thats applicable to pretty much anything.

This company has proven to be one of the best places to work. I have nothing but positive things to say about management and the company itself. I love being able to give people the "in real life" Glossier experience. The connections that we are able to make with customers are very special. The overall experience differs compared to other skincare and makeup stores, where it is not just about buying a product and leaving. The Glossier experience is about developing a personal experience and finding what is right for each individual customer that comes into the store.

A-1 Marketing. Dope Owner. Dope Company. Only complaint is most mployees haven’t worked in Cosmetic retail before. So most don’t have to know anything about beauty and selling, they just have to love Glossier. Which makes it hard to work in an atmosphere with a lot of playing and not to much passion or working. Their are no goals which is a breathe of fresh air from working In Luxury Retail with high goals. Overall fun place to work! Awesome products, music and management!

Lack of inclusion, only offered covid compensation after the owner got it for one pay period only. Will not compensate even when department of health suggest timeline fits to the notice of exposure at work. Does not follow cdc covid guidelines to return back to work. Have been told now daily cleanings will no longer be during business hours, thus putting employees at a higher risk of exposure. I did not sign up for more responsibilities with no additional pay. Management does lack in supporting their team and making executive decisions.

Glossier is an interesting work environment. Naturally every beauty marketer wants to work at the hottest beauty start-up and take part in disrupting this antiquated cosmetics industry, but this comes at a cost. The growing pains of the company are apparent. Leadership team has a hard time mobilizing their vision. Town halls are inspiring but the stark fizzes as soon as it ends. This frustration transforms into employee frustration. There’s a lot of cattiness and bureaucracy that I didn’t expect at such a company.

Glossier requires its employees, specifically their "Editors" or sales associates to have the knowledge of an esthetician/dermatologist, the personality of a theme park employee, and the energy of an athlete. This would be a good position if employees were appropriately compensated for their work. 

They do not promote or hire from within, many HR policy violations yet no HR team available, they communicate poorly about clientele and foster a hostile work environment that exemplifies the ideology that the team "should be grateful it is not worse". The manager mostly hires teenagers so there is high turn over and minimal room for growth.

I was a heavy follower of this brand and when I show a job opportunity I got very excited. The process was fantastic and everyone is so communicative. Working with individuals who have experience is also amazing as well. Management definitely keeps us on our toes in the best way possible!

Working in the new stores is awful...... Avoid, avoid, avoid.. Mean girl central. They push out people who don't "vibe" with the team. Which is beyond unprofessional. We're here to work, not be best friends. However, Glossier seems to have that very confused.
