Coty Reviews

Pros

Entrepreneurial spirit. Strong brands in fine fragrances.

Cons

So many question mark brands after pg acquisitions. Infrastructure not strong enough to support doubling volume.

Cons

High targets, retail workers can at times be difficult with us, no growth opportunities

Pros

Summer Fridays Good office location (connected to the Path) Some very hardworking, dedicated employees General Manager leads by example

Cons

HR is non-existent. Employee retention is terrible and the company is too cheap to offer the right salaries to attract actual talent. Zero work-life balance; employees are forced to take on more and more work as "development opportunities", without any real chance to get promoted or even a higher bonus or raise. Senior management is petty, narrow-minded, and short-sighted, always making poor decisions for short-term gain and then acting surprised when they don't pan out. The General Manager is great, but completely hobbled by his senior management's ineptitude. Infighting, politics, and finger-pointing are the norm, with zero accountability.

Pros

Lovely office, downtown location, fun brands, investment in your career if you’re worth investing in, not strictly processs driven, ability to influence strategy with creative thinking- not possible at larger more rigid companies, respectful culture

Cons

The merger was rough on a lot of people as mergers tend to be. This is why there are so many negative reviews during that time frame and high turnover. Although most of this pain is over after 2.5 years there is still workload inequality and an issue with not hiring experienced people in important roles to save a buck.
