RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at A.S. Watson Group full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Huge global presence, if you work in a group function you get to interact with all the global business units. Retail is normally fast and ASW is no exception decisions get made rapidly and you can see your work implemented very quickly. Lots and lots of examples of people starting in junior roles and working their way to the top. Some great career opportunities.
Cons
Can be a cultural minefield but that's normal for any global organization. Due to the need to turn things around quickly some weeks will be very busy with some long hours required.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at A.S. Watson Group full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Discount is 10% on branded and 30% on own brand with Superdrug.
Cons
Very hard work, can be very long hours and asked to work long hours with only a moments notice. Left feeling like just a dispensiple number. However if you fall out with management expect to get minimum hours and bad mouthed behind your back.

Fellow Designers were a great team to work alongside.

Unappreciative managers. Seniors look down on other staff. Long hours. Always backlogs. Not paid enough for the work we do.
