Pluspunten

- generous discount on amazing skincare products - flexible working hours (dependent upon department) - good benefits (i.e. medical, dental, 401k) - snacks/beer tap

Minpunten

After 19 years you would think this company would be killing it in the industry and be a recognizable brand, but it's terrible leadership has contributed to it's sub par existence. In the 3 years I worked at Dermstore, I saw 4 President's pass through. That's a telltale sign something is very wrong with this place. The current leadership is a joke, they have no clue what they are doing, there is no clear strategy that makes sense, and the President stands only as a puppet while the puppeteers (executive leaders) dictate the direction and movement of the company. People in senior level positions are the only one's getting promoted. This company is more top heavy with Directors than I've ever seen at any other company I've worked for. Most are unqualified for their positions and are terrible managers. There is absolutely no room for growth here or any learning opportunities that will help build your skillset. Dermstore is known to foster a culture of favoritism and entitlement: if you aren't on the list, you won't ever be seen, recognized or valued. The pay here is ridiculous... its below the average for L.A. There are too many cancers spreading through the office to create a healthy culture and work environment. There is no collaboration or clear communication between teams, everyone is out for themselves. The turnover rate is at the highest its ever been. Overall, it's not a healthy place to work.

Pluspunten

There are some really great people over at Dermstore to work with. It's a true 9-5 environment where they actually value work-life balance.

Minpunten

The organization is currently experiencing high turnover rates, which appear to be driven by a misalignment in how talent is valued. Specifically, there is a perception that several individuals in VP-level roles lack the necessary expertise to lead effectively, leading to the prioritization of the wrong personnel. While the starting salary is competitive, after joining, do not expect any raise.
