  • L&R posted 82 active roles in 2026, signaling ongoing expansion across operations and accounting.
  • April 2026 and August 2026 listings show continued demand for warehouse, allocation, and merchandising talent.

What critics are saying

  • The business remains labor-intensive, with warehouse and merchandiser roles exposed to turnover and wage pressure.
  • A retail consolidation or channel shift away from beauty distributors would hit its core SKU engine quickly.

  • Its merchandising services bundle resets, analytics, and sales execution for retail partners, 2025.
