A rare mix of compassion, authenticity, and exciting work at a fast-growing brand - Anonymous employee Kate McLeod Employee Review

Kate McLeod is a small but rapidly growing business that has seen significant positive change over the past few years. With that growth has come a genuine effort to support and take care of employees as the company evolves. The environment is fast-paced, dynamic, and rewarding for those who enjoy staying busy and adapting quickly. It’s also a great place to gain hands-on experience and learn more about the skincare and beauty industry, especially within a growing brand.

The pace and constant evolution may feel overwhelming for someone who prefers a slower, more structured environment. Priorities can shift quickly, which may be challenging for those who struggle with ambiguity or frequent change.

Wonderful coworkers and interesting work

Cofounders hired part-time workers to do 99% of labor and production for as low as $12-13/hour. Hopefully this has changed as they offered no other form of support. Employees were often low-income minorities and commuted over an hour. One employee said they would not want to work in an environment where cofounders could not be understanding of mistakes. They quit on the spot or were fired. Curious if there is an HR employee yet. A few words: aesthetics > ethics, Performative, A lot resonated from the other recent review... not surprised about the discrimination, lawsuits, or co-founder threatening an employee with legal repercussions for voicing legitimate concerns.
