It didn't have to end this way - Anonymous employee bareMinerals Employee Review

Poor management at the corporate level led to the down fall of a cosmetic giant. Closing 100 stores and putting the people at the store level out of jobs because they couldn't stop the company from losing money. No vision of the future and sense of what's trending currently to drive business. Over saturation of a prestige brand makes it not prestigious!! Bare minerals needed a celebrity influencer years ago to keep the brand current and trending. Always reactive instead of proactive. Too little too late. No corporate accountability, always saying we're not selling enough and saying the behaviors are affecting the sales...you're traffic is down 30% to LY but some how people go into overtime every week on the payroll report. How can that be when you're not making comp I'm selling to the traffic that comes in, Calling people who don't answer, and clienteling. This isn't a store level problem.
