Pros

Challenging Hands on experience Some nice employees

Cons

The "management" team are absolutely terrible. HR does not exist here so do not expect to be protected because you really have no one to turn to when you are disrespected. Very shady workplace to work at with a lot of drama and disrespect for staff. There are no workplace benefits and there's no such thing as socials or team bonding. My biggest regret is giving EX1 the benefit of the doubt when I read the terrible reviews on here. The turnover rate is a joke here - no one lasts a year.

Pros

Only one positive, getting paid for putting up with nothing but non productive critique from a founder who thinks she knows everything there is about beauty.

Cons

The whole brand is a con. Managed by a very indecisive founder who only has one leg to stand on “all about the undertones baby”. Come on, there’s thousands of products around selling foundations with yellow under tones. They need to work on their unique selling point, they need to listen to every staff member whether intern or director.

Pros

Good central location Challenging opportunities - some positive Looks good on CV

Cons

Employed as a trainee/graduate social media & graphic designer but was expected to create advanced graphic design without any in house graphic designers or mentors. Management were rude, some senior staff would speak in french & exclude new members of staff even when there was only a small team in the office Frequently given feedback & told to turn around a task within the last hour of the day, even when the task would need several hours to complete Pay was Minimum wage but you were often expected to stay late without overtime
