Uneven workload

NAM (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 21 December 2022

Two things regarding this company; one, there is an uneven work load among the team I happened to be working on and two, my team mainly spoke French. During team work sessions they preferred to speak in their native tongue.

Pros

Compensation

Cons

Unrealistic work load expectation

Marketing Manager (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 13 December 2022

L'Oreal can be a very fast-paced and challenging environment at first, but it can reward you by meeting great people and being an efficient and effective marketer

Marketing (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 2 November 2022

i think the company is loosing ground, because of fierce competition , and the product is too expensive, competitors can offer better value price products ..

Préparateur de commande

Préparateur de commandes (Former Employee) - Saint-Laurent, QC - 12 September 2022

Bonjour ou bonsoir à tous! J’ai travaillé pour cette entreprise pendant un mois edemi. Les gens sont en général très cool , tres sympathique rien n’a dire de négatif à ce sujet . Par contre , le hic .. il y’a un gros manque de communication grave entre la supervision et les employés ( Je vises plus la direction au niveau de la communication mal gérer bien sûr ) pas rapport au rendement et etc . Les valeurs qu’ils nous montre au début de la formation à l’embauche ,ne correspond aucunement rendu sur le plancher. Vous avez beau vous donnez en étant présent à tous les jours , être à l’heure, vous faites quasiment jamais d’erreur ,toujours être présent et jamais manquer une seul journée … je vous garantis que même si vous avez toutes c’est bonne qualité en tant que employé ds cette entreprise (que normalement une entreprise devrait prendre en considération et en priorité surtout quand on a juste 1 mois edemi D’EXPÉRIENCE ds cette compagnie ) si vous êtes pas assez rapide au niveau de la production malgré le peu de temps d’expérience que vous avez pour vous améliorer à ce niveau là … croyez moi ils vont aucunement se gêner de vous congédier sans aucun avertissement. J’ai vraiment été choqué et déçu …. Mais dieu merci j’ai trouvé bcq mieux que l’oreal par la suite …..de ce que j’ai pu comprendre.. la rapidité est extrêmement plus important que le reste pour maintenir ce boulot. Et il y’a plein d’autres points négatif aussi que j’ai constaté mais bon ..ce n’est plus mon combat .Bref , en gros je vous déconseille cette compagnie si vous cherchez une stabilité -

Pros

Les gens sont sympathiques

Cons

Bcq trop

Worst place ever. Terrible.

Opérateur en fabrication (Former Employee) - Saint-Laurent, QC - 23 August 2022

There is some nice people working there. HR people don’t really care about you. The management is unprofessional, uneducated, greedy, doesn't keep to deadlines and arrangements they set themselves. They blame the employees for their bad planning. Employees are unappreciated. The work environment is below any standards and unprofessional. Lots and lots of expectation, no appreciation, no professional communication. I would not recommend anyone to this company.No chance of growth. Supervisors are very rude, authoritative, and uncooperative. Managers never help with any problems they always direct to some other managers and which never resolves any issues. The environment is really stressful. Il y a des gens sympas qui y travaillent. Les RH ne se soucient pas vraiment de vous. La direction est peu professionnelle, inculte, cupide, ne respecte pas les délais et les arrangements qu'elle s'est fixés. Ils blâment les employés pour leur mauvaise planification. Les employés ne sont pas appréciés. L'environnement de travail est en dessous de toutes les normes et non professionnel. Beaucoup d'attentes, aucune appréciation, aucune communication professionnelle. Je ne recommanderais personne à cette entreprise. Aucune chance de croissance. Les superviseurs sont très impolis, autoritaires et peu coopératifs. Les managers n'aident jamais avec les problèmes qu'ils dirigent toujours vers d'autres managers et qui ne résolvent jamais aucun problème. L'environnement est vraiment stressant.

Pros

The salary

Cons

Toxic environment

It was difficult to compete with sales but amazing people to work with, definitely have the passion to promote their job very well. Though i’m not sure i if the company is the greatest at protecting their associates.

performative activism for covid and diversity, toxic work environment.

Key Holder/Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 June 2022

Upper management was performative regarding covid protocols and diversity, only caring if it looked good for customers (ie: made money). If staff spoke up, they would be reprimanded. Salary for retail staff was not a living wage. Sales floor was a toxic environment.

Very poor pay, they like to do experiences rather than pay staff decently

Territory Sales Manager (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 27 April 2022

Very opinionated culture, your career path is determined upon getting hired. If they have a specific plan, you will only get that path. Many, many people leave. They work you to death. Bonuses are paid in Feb & the day after that there is a mass exit of staff

Pros

Experiences

Cons

Pay, long hours

Great place to work for highly adaptative people

Production management (Former Employee) - Canada - 7 April 2022

Greta culture on safety and quality. A lot of investments because great sales.Excellent management style from factory manager to most of supervisors, very positive.But you need to be a high adapter to perform in a very volatile and constantly changing environment.

Management is terrible, unmanageable workload- no work life balance.

Brand Manager (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 23 February 2022

It feels good to say you work for L’Oréal but once you’re in there the culture is very old school and political. There is no one looking out for the million asks that get thrown on your plate.

Pros

Good pay, nice people, work from home.

Cons

Work life balance, too many tasks and quick turn around time.

Fast paced with a lot of opportunities to learn and grow

Demand Planner (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 20 January 2022

L'Oreal is great company overall to start your career. It's very fast paced so things can get stressful. Work-life balance is not great but the company is really trying to work on that and introduce new initiatives/policies. It's a great school, you will learn a lot and meet some very talented people. However, it's a french company so you will have to learn french at some point if you are considering a long term career there....

Pros

No.1 cosmetics company in the world, Lots of learning and exposure, People are nice and supportive, Health insurance and wellness benefits, Day care for kids (only at Montreal office unfortunately)

Cons

Work-life balance, Salaries can be more competitive, French language feels like a must have to grow within the company

Production Engineer

Production Engineer (Former Employee) - Montreal, QC - 30 March 2021

The production is very divided between management and operators, in an unefective and divisive way. Lots of people were cooperative between the two groups, but there was lots of tension and a few could openly sabotage the efforts of another (both management and operators had episodes of signicficant uncooperativeness at times). Must say that some divisions are better than others on that aspect.
