• The company’s current official job board is dominated by retail roles, and the (Sales Associate) Editor role lists “2+ years preferred,” which limits true 0–1 year access.
• Glossier has hired seasonal Editors with an explicitly time-bounded 90-day term, which can be a foot in the door but is not a stable graduate pathway.
• The company previously ran early-career tech routes such as a paid two-month “Summer of Code” internship and an engineering apprenticeship cohort, but public materials do not show a clearly repeatable version of these programs today.

‍

• The company uses a consistent ATS application flow via Greenhouse, and retail postings spell out day-to-day responsibilities across customer experience, teamwork, and operational work.
• Glossier publishes structured hiring signals for retail, including a stated move to a “structured and consistent recruiting process” for stores and dedicated retail talent acquisition roles.
• The company has mixed candidate reports on interview consistency across functions, including multi-stage loops that sometimes include presentations or skills tests, which can increase applicant burden depending on the team.

‍

• The company describes a revamped retail training curriculum that combines content with application, including role-playing, online resources, and onboarding plus ongoing learning across DEI, product knowledge, and retail operations.
• Glossier’s retail team design includes Associate Store Directors with focused “subject matter” areas, and Editors are framed as getting coached on the floor and building expertise across those areas.
• The company’s most detailed coaching and onboarding commitments are published for retail, while current public job ads outside stores are limited, so early-career learning support across corporate functions is harder to verify.

‍

• The company’s retail employee experience plan includes a commitment to more transparent, structured opportunities for pay increases, aiming to reduce ambiguity for store teams.
• Glossier lists salary ranges publicly for some store leadership roles on major job aggregators, which helps candidates calibrate senior retail pay even when individual postings do not always show ranges.
• The company hires at least some retail roles as seasonal fixed-term positions, and the public job board does not consistently publish pay ranges for frontline roles, which limits pay-confidence for early-career applicants.

‍

• The company has mixed public employee sentiment, with an overall mid-range company rating and recurring themes of uneven experience across teams, which raises early-career risk.
• Glossier has a concrete historical progression example where a paid early-career tech internship converted into a full-time junior engineering offer, showing that conversion has happened in practice.
• The company had a major corporate layoff in January 2022 that disproportionately affected the technology team, and Glossier does not publish early-career retention or promotion metrics to offset that uncertainty.
