Pros

work-life balance, most colleagues are nice, compensation is fair if you're hired by the right person/team

Cons

Unfortunately this workplace is run by poor management which results in inadequate leadership, and a lack of foresight. The company's regional CEO turnover rate is alarming (once a year), suggesting a lack of stability, which is also the leading factor of previous restructuring and layoffs that came without clear justification. Unfortunately that results in a worse company dynamics and culture in the last few years. The leadership team, composed of a few individuals with dated mindsets and self-serving agendas, is ill-suited to guide the company into the future. they set up outdated and inflexible guidelines which demonstrate a low level of emotional intelligence. Furthermore, it offers limited growth opportunities for mid-to-low level employees, making it a stagnant and unfulfilling place to work. While I understand that Wella may have a unique "hairdresser culture," the company's deviation from this type of culture results in a significant lack of professional and data-driven talent and methodologies. The workplace atmosphere often feels more like a local direct sales organization than a multinational corporation that is supposed to be inclusive and aspiring. This cultural mismatch can hinder progress, innovation, and the overall professional development of employees.

Pros

Wella gives you a potential to thrive as an individual contributor employee. As someone who is recently new, there’s plenty of opportunities to participate in employee benefits such as gym discounts, health/ wellness discounts and of course, the fan favorite, Wella products! The US team cares for their employees and gives us half days for Summer Fridays, also a huge benefits and makes working at Wella fun.

Cons

Not much to say here except the work can get hectic at times depending on busy season for launches- Holidays, Brand Partnerships/ Sponsorships, Seasonal launches, Etc.
