Hourglass Cosmetics

I would never recommend anyone to work for this company. They have beautiful products, no doubt but the way they treat their employees is horrendous. First of all, nothing you do is good enough, they want more more more. No encouragement or recognition for a job well done from upper management. They pin employees against each other. It’s a competition within the company opposed to encouraging and working as a team. No gratis or appreciation for their employees. The National Artist are cocky and look down on artists, freelancers. There very stuck up. They are not inspiring to work with at all. On top of all of that, I have a chronic disease that caused me to miss a lot of work at the end. Management made me feel terrible about it, they were not understanding at all, they would fight with me and put me down. There are zero benefits and no paid  sick days. They started taking work away from me, because they were “concerned I wouldn’t be able to do my job” “they need someone reliable” “we don’t know how your health is and need to run a business”.  This is highly illegal and eventually stopped giving me work, period. WORST COMPANY ever.

This company makes wonderful products, unfortunately the infrastructure of the brand needs plenty of help. My experience working there was not the best to be honest. They through me into a position with absolutely no training, then I ended up training new girls in my very same position, without a pay increase. They gave me more work and never compensated me for it, I met my goals consistently and to date all my stores went up in numbers. I became unmotivated and tired with being lied to about a pay increase so I put my month in trained a new girl before I left and went on my merry way.

I love Hourglass products and all Hourglass cosmetics I owned I paid for (none we’re giving to me for free). Not really sure if this is the whole company or maybe just the Boston, MA location. But hourglass is very greedy with giving their employees gratis and expects so much. After 2 years of working for Hourglass I’ve only received 3 lipsticks for gratis. I was constantly feeling like I wasn’t good enough for not making goal but with the lack of training and constantly talked down to, company is blessed their not getting sued.

Great company to work for if you have a family and are looking for flexibility in your schedule. Your territory will be pretty large meaning you will have to drive maximum of an 1 1/2 to each location you are supporting. Travel/Mileage is not paid for nor do you receive health/dental benefits. The hourly pay however, is pretty good! This is a smaller company so they are still ironing out some kinks. Trainers do not get much gratis or any other bonus incentives.

products are beautiful but there are only a few to work with so there isn't much for creativity. I say A+ on the line and what they do and can Deliver!

As far as working for them I'm indifferent. Yes, I do get paid well BUT they make sure to keep your hours low so that they don't have to pay for insurance and if you travel like I did, they do not pay for mileage or parking! the hours are only 6 hour shifts and that's nice. I like it but then again I wish I was able to have better benefits and more Sundays off to have a better work life balance.

I worked for Hourglass as a product rep. It was a part-time job. Training was fantastic considering it was over the phone, but products are so amazing you actually SEEK out information yourself! The products sell themselves if you know the information on them - beautiful! My manager came to my store fairly frequently and gave me on the job training on new products and how to sell them. Representing this product filled me with happiness!

Hourglass is a beautiful line but the Account Execs don't care about their team. They are aggressive and bully their artists. No stability and you will lose hours if they want to bring in someone they have a personal relationship with. Very unprofessional Account Executives and Human Resources does nothing to aid.

Horrible training process. You will hate your life and develop horrible anxiety and have zero say in anything. The women who work here are snobby and fake and vicious. They will make you respond at all hours of the day. Not a good company to work for. Previous AC was unhappy too and left same as a bunch of other people I know left this company due to culture and pressures 

Went in with no experience and ended up learning a lot from working here. Learned how to pick and pack. Eventually moving on to their receiving department, definitely had a lot of potential to move up in the “ranks”. 

A typical day at work would either be about sales or training cast members. with a 4 to 6hr shift. Product knowledge and building relations with clients/cast members is key.
