Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would wholeheartedly recommend a LOréal apprenticeship because it has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me! I have learned so much, not just about the beauty industry, but also about supply chain management, marketing, technology, and even finance. LOréal provides amazing training opportunities, supportive mentors, and the chance to take on real responsibility. It is challenging and fast-paced, but that is what makes it so exciting! Plus, working with such iconic brands such as YSL is a definite bonus.
