IPSY

Pros:
Amazing people who are kind, hardworking, and inspiring. The LA office has a lean team which means you get exposure to a lot of new and exciting projects. Plus dogs are allowed in the office, which is a definite morale booster!

Cons:
Upper management/executives don't listen to lower-tiered employees on ideas to improve the company, both internally and externally. Strategies change from month-to-month, which trickles down to frustration, confusion, and disorganization. There's no clear communication on how budget is allocated throughout the company, which makes it difficult for the media team to create compelling marketing content.

Advice to Management:
Listen to your employees and learn from them - they have amazing ideas. Stick to the strategies laid out at the beginning of the year, give more budget, and trust your teams to create great results. Give more budget to the LA team and make influencer marketing/media production a higher priority.

The company has gone downhill in the past two years and the recent acquisition was not well integrated into the organization. Management hasn't listened to customer concerns or resolved the operational issues of customers getting incorrect or very late shipments. The company just scrubbed their profile of all the bad reviews in order to get a 'fresh start'. 

Ask yourself why a company thats been around for over a decade has no reviews until now. They also interview for a bunch of roles and ask for work samples in order to get ideas. Teams are drowning and in need of help and nobody gets hired. The interview process is very long, expectations are high, and the pay is below industry standard. 

There was a big company-wide layoff recently which resulted in me no longer being with the company. The hours are determined by PT time zone, and one day out of the weekend is required. My direct manager was amazing, but I did not feel a sense of belonging throughout the company as a whole. What I was shown in "training", was not indicative of the level of work I would be expected to do. Also, prepare to be micromanaged (even remotely). I would only consider this a decent opportunity temporarily. Do not rely on this company for long-term job security/advancement.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great communication and great teamwork

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When the right product is not in the right spot of the order

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very diverse, very respectful, and everyone's willing to help each other

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Greeting everyone having your exercise before working and going over the orders are the main focus of the day production

And if somebody manages snobby you know if you got to leave early you got to leave early you know everybody can't say that they can stand and do 12 to 14 hours a day without you know having kids at home a sick daddy sick Mama to Grandma just somebody sick and you got to leave at a certain time they want to tell you they want to terminate you and that's not fair because people do have a life outside of ipsy

Management was extremely friendly, and they tried to work with me because I honestly do not have the physical dexterity to be a packer I realized after working here, but they found a spot where I could function and kept me on for the duration of the assignment until I left

Ipsy was a good job to work at if you like discounts on make-up. I learned to a multitasker here. I learned how to be a material handler which seemed to be very easy and was. A typical day at work was, don't be late and you'll get a spot on the line. I enjoyed working there because the work was easy. The only thing about that job was it wasn't a for sure thing that you'll get to work.

the environment isn’t the best. lots of arguments happen often. management seems depressed all the time and nobody ever really wants to be there. you’re never guaranteed hours. you either get 2 weeks unpaid off straight or they have you working 50 hours in a week. they hire huge groups so no one is trained properly and they give the new people hours before the tenured workers 

Management changes strategies on whims, doesn't know how to prioritize, and can't communicate their end goals.

Coworkers are nice, benefits are good enough, but ultimately you find yourself more frustrated by the amount of missed potential than anything else.

Office culture is great, people are really friendly.  Not a lot of room for growth.  Management can use some help.  Maybe give your employees more opportunities and you will see them thrive.
