The Best Crash Course in Entrepreneurship and the World of Start-ups
Pros
Small, intimate team- your job REALLY matters! Real responsibility and contribution from day 1 Great for Beauty product junkies (and if your not i.e. your a man- great to impress your lady friends, wife and girlfriend with!) Enthusiasm and access to the Founders of the business Learn a lot of about starting -up a beauty and the passion, drive and clarity of vision needed- great if your thinking about doing just that. Opportunities to climb career ladder faster and higher than at non-start-ups if you have the right 'personality'
Cons
Lack of infrastructure- Basic IT infrastructure - most things seem basic and not working properly. Slow progression- you have to go through so many people to get things done which is strange for a start-up. Basic facilities. It's a start-up = people working in a 1 room office. Poor communication and familiarity between international offices Local management's lack of knowledge of beauty industry, products, trends.. Small, intimate team like a family- you have to have the right 'personality' to progress Long hours
