Chanel reviews

Pay was embarrassingly low. All of the perks in the world could not make up for the awful salary for me. This is unacceptable, and other places, as I have learned, pay much more. A pat on the back only goes so far. Toxic office politics and very gossipy environment. Some of the long-haul employees act with impunity and engage in toxic behaviors that go unchecked. I felt like it was worse than high school and not limited to my department. I always felt short staffed, and the company would seemingly rather squeeze its employees more than hire more people. There is almost no room for growth and I felt there was a lot of phony advocacy and empty promises from leadership and upper management. Maternity leave option is adequate but not as good as other places imo.

THE majority of the NY and NJ Cosmetic (Beaute and Fragrance) division is "managed" by middle-aged, divorced, (or never been married), obsessed, very BITTER and VINDICTIVE women who were hired only because their best friend works there and they got them the job...you know how it is - the same "favorites" game and politics that is in the all the department stores is unfortunately no different in this part of the brand. They lack the solid education, real hands-on experience, competence and history of what it really takes to make CHANEL what it should be to excel business and be a true luxury line. And while Mlle Chanel herself was never married and albeit career obsessed, they severely lack the vision, finesse, and mind-set she herself had. This is a game of who will stab whom in the back to make themselves look better - and I mean, lies, completely stretching truths, covering up errors pathetically, and just a whole boatload of unethical tactics.
