Chanel reviews

- Since 2020 the company focuses heavily on hiring diverse talent, but struggles with retention, as many minority employees face unique challenges and lack adequate support. -Assertiveness, creativity, and ambition are qualities praised in certain employees, but similar behaviors from black, asian and latin@s are often undervalued, punished or overlooked. -Leadership lacks transparency, and promotions seem arbitrary, with many managers appearing under-qualified and threatened by experienced hires. -As a private company, there’s minimal accountability for poor decision-making from leaders, and spending often focuses on the wrong priorities. -HR processes are dangerously inconsistent, and reports about workplace issues are frequently mishandled, creating an environment where serious concerns are not adequately addressed.

- slow to adopt change and technology - lacks process and understanding of roles/responsibilities - extremely hierarchal; directors and above have more perks and power but is not consistent across the board - leadership and global teams often need to weigh-in on extremely tactical matters - very little collaboration or transparency with French/global teams - training/on-boarding program in Paris is only available to directors and above but there's no consistency for when an employee goes, so it could be within 1 year or within 5 years - all communication and work relies on individuals so there is no standard way of doing anything; everything is an exception - extremely political; those who know how to work the politics will go far - managers receive very little training or guidance from the company so some teams are extremely competitive while some other teams are very chaotic. All depends on the manager - leadership is often not in sync; causes mass chaos, confusion and frustration among 'doers' - difficult to move up - offers the very minimum legally required maternity leave
