Morphe
Working at Morphe
Beauty Artist (Former Employee) – Stratford – 15 February 2019
Whilst working here they forced overtime on many of the temps without them being warned. I noticed the longer I workd for the company the harder it got (not with the tasks given) coping with a few other colleagues. The hardest part of the job is keeping yourself mentally strong as permanent beauty artists there can be fake and speak about you behind your backs, give you looks and are also definetly sometimeish. I loved the manager but it seems he struggles with a few organising issues.. The management can be ridiculous at times and I personally would not go to them with a complaint due to the fact they will use it against you to get rid of you. Permanent Beauty Artists that work there currently bad mouth management all the time. They are fake towards one another and there seemed to be segregation within working there.
Pros
Free Lunches & 50% off
Cons
Long hours, Jealousy, Fake colleagues
okay place to work if you're looking for temporary work
beauty artist (Former Employee) – Birmingham, West Midlands – 4 February 2019
You don't really learn anything new from there
you can't go even 1 shift with no makeup which I understand to some extent because you work in a makeup store but there are also times when you need to let your skin breathe but if the A.S.M. is on shift she will literally make you put on makeup, like I had a really bad breakout and was told by a doctor not to put anything besides the prescribed cream on my face, I came into work with the doctors note and was still told to put on makeup
a lot of the beauty artists there are honestly lovely people, so easy to talk to/get along with, if it wasn't for them I honestly would have left a lot sooner
there are "6 Managers" in total and out of the 6, 4 of them I actually liked and got a long with really well and are honestly really lovely people
the actual store manager is really nice but at times can come across quite fake but i'm not sure if its something she's noticed or even knows that she does from time to time, I would also say sometimes it can come across as being heavily influenced by the A.S.M. but all in all she is a nice person
The associate store manager is absolutely awful she is incredibly rude, very snobby, thinks she's gods gift, constantly talks down to you, will be-little you and she's just not a nice person in general to be around, she's very hypocritical because if you be-little her or talk down to her she does not like it but when she does it to you its okay, shes someone that you need to have a backbone with otherwise she will walk all over you.
A lot of people have left because she is the main reason, more... her whole management skill is just off & honestly she needs to be reported to HR
they have a tendency to put you on an early start if you're on a late finish and sometimes you don't leave the store until around 10-11pm and the store closes at 8pm less

Don’t do it!
Beauty Artist (Former Employee) – Burbank, CA – 19 October 2018
Morphe WAS a great place to work at BEFORE they started to expand. Work was so fun & was very much a second home to all of us. But that changed in the blink of an eye. They wiped out everyone who didn’t “fit” the look of the “new morphe” ..way to “blend the rules” Then continued to hire horrible replacements who were rude, and had absolute no artistry skills that “fit the new look” and to top it off they’d try to make you fear them in order for “respect.”
Treated everyone left of the store like complete garbage & pushed us to the max to quit. They’ve definitely ruined what Morphe was all about. Morphe was about diversity, open minds, and positivity. Now it’s all fake. You’ll get played with hours, won’t get benefits, and probably will get paid less than some other employees at different locations. Save your time & passion for another company who’d love to help you grow!

Pros

Cons
Everything, especially management
stressful enviroment with poor management
Makeup Artist (Former Employee) – Burbank, CA – 13 September 2018
The company hypes you up with opportunities for growth but NEVER hires from within,or at least my location never did although they had amazing candidates to choose from for promotion. Management was very cliquey, most came from the same brand prior to morphe so they're all friends with each other. They let certain employees get away with things while others get write ups.Manager leads with fear instead of respect and motivation and speaks to you like a child.
Part time employees have gotten hours cut 3 times in a span of two months regardless of work ethic. They promote an open door policy but suggestions aren't allowed. Managers deal with employee issues by telling us to "ignore" each other.

Pros
artistry
Cons
poor management, little to no growth, stressful enviroment
Growing pains to the max!
Beauty Artist (Former Employee) – California – 3 July 2018
I believe the company is expanding too quickly. They do not work out kinks from previous stores in order to improve future stores. I know of a few people who were working full time hours for a prolonged period of time but were not getting benefits. They don't accommodate for you to have a secondary job but they don't offer full-time positions. I've seen that the company's disorganization puts stress on everybody including corporate, retail workers and management. It's sad to see because the brand represents something really amazing! One thing I can say is that they hire amazing people that are kind-hearted. I hope to see improvement for Morphe in the future.
Pros
50% off, reasonable hourly pay, amazing employees
Cons
Part time positions only, new brand so growing pains.
fun work enviorment/people
Brand Representative (Current Employee) – Orlando, FL – 29 October 2018

Easy and relaxed work space
Makeup Artist (Former Employee) – Cerritos, CA – 10 December 2018
Management was poor, coworkers made the work space amazing. Very good for anyone looking to get experience in the Cosmetic industries. Sale goals were easy to make. Morphe events were always fun.
Face paced fun people
Shipper (Former Employee) – Pacoima, CA – 19 March 2018
A typical day at Morphe is working hard and sometimes some fun. The only problem is the work hours and some of the management get really competitive and take sides. The longer the employee the more stubborn and hard headed they seem to be. but most of the regular staff is easy going.
Pros
fun events
Cons
Management is rterrible
Fun environment
Picker/ Packer (Former Employee) – Pacoima, CA – 22 November 2017
Very Fun enviroment, always on the move. You won't even feel the day passing by. Very competitive and fun. The Management team is very approachable and understanding. They stand in the employees shoes and always try to have the employees point of view. The company over all is very competitive and treats every one like family.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Days off
Terrible Environment
Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Pacoima, CA – 23 May 2018
Be aware of you ever work at this company every kiss behinds, there and no one has knowledge on how to their job properly. You'll be standing around for majority of the work day.
Pros
Free lunches
Cons
Management staying busy boring
Fun workplace
Inventory Control Manager (Former Employee) – Pacoima, CA – 22 August 2018
It was a very relaxed environment. There wasn't a lot to do all the time but employees were friendly and kept the environment happy and upbeat. Working with the warehouse was difficult due to communication issues with manager in charge.
Pros
Fun
Cons
Not enough to do
Productive and family ordinated
Lead Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Pacoima, CA – 12 July 2018
The typical day at work would start off with a container filled with product we would off load and account for shipment received I would then take a team of four to replenish racks
Great people and a fast growing company
freelance (Current Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – 14 June 2018
I have had positive experiences with Morphe ever since I first started with them. I've seen the company grow tremendously over the last couple years. If you can get into corporate, I would definitely recommend it.
Pros
Fun people, great environment, good pay
Cons
Payroll takes a long time to get to freelancer's checks and comps. at the moment
No work ethics
Lead Associate (Former Employee) – Pacoima, CA – 20 February 2018
In this company you need to be friends with upper management in order to advance. Favoritism plays a big role here. The warehouse manager and supervisor are 2 young people who know the work but they lack of people skills. They are always too busy wasting time with they favorites. No training is provided, if you like a place where there is no rules, where you can waste your time, where if you like to kiss a&@ you will get someone where this is your place. Your ideas do not matter to them.
Pros
Free food
Cons
Favoritism
Very fast-paced enviroment, always something to do
LEAD MANAGER/BEAUTY ADVISOR (Current Employee) – Burbank, CA – 16 September 2017
Always a store full of customers, I learned everything about cosmetics from this employer. We have trainings at least two times a month as well as have store meetings once a month. I am apart of management so typical open and close duties, handling cash and focusing on awesome customer service. Everyday is enjoyable at this job.
Pros
trainings, discounts and gratis
Cons
no job security or stability
Lack of communication, selfishness
Senior Manager Environmental Health and Safety (Current Employee) – Pacoima, CA – 16 January 2018
Each department manager was not communicating or assisting others. No floor management when enforcing safety rules.Never had a weekly meeting with leadership on safety protocols. Safety orientation overlooked for production reasons.
Pros
Free lunch at times
Cons
Lack of planning ahead or communication
its a very fast paced working environment.
