There is NOTHINg positive about this company. This entire company is based off of traditions from other parts of the world yet they refuse to use models who are from the traditions they steal. They are constantly being called out for this horrible advertisements(google rituals holli and happy Buddha) and they need to be called out in the US. They are a brand that does not fit in our culture here in the states.
Apart from that-
- racist and sexist uniform which resembles an Asian servant
- salary and pay are below average and are not competitive
- same thing with benefits
- highest turnover in cosmetic retail(most stores have close to 100% turn around every 6 months)
- amazing individuals leaving the company and having shady unethical individuals left in management.
- hard to obtain monthly sales gold and expectations are delusional especially for the wages.
- Rituals does NOT care about other cultures and races, especially black people. company celebrated a holiday which uses blackface(google zwarte Piet for reference) in a weekly “what’s happening in the company” letter in which they state they were excited for the holiday. I have also witnessed a black colleague get in trouble for having “textured” hair.
- company expects entirely too much for the lack of pay and benefits.
- not able to have an individual identity due to extremely strict dress code. You are basically forced to wear servant attire with minimal makeup, certain nail color, hair has to be a certain color and style, no braids or look “too” natural as company has issues with black employees having a natural hair style(I am saying this as a white female I have witnessed black employees being scolded for this!)
Overall, this is not a company I would ever want to support as far as recommending products nor would recommend to work for. I would recommend working at a drugstore before this because at least you would qualify for some level of benefits. There are little to no pros about working here and the company does not have a place in the stages due to their racist behaviors and tendencies.
