Chanel reviews

- Artistic department (AD) seems to be the "GOD" in the organization as they have final say in the creatives. They steer the direction of most launch campaigns after taking brief from the marketing teams. However, 40% of the time, they lose sight of real consumers' needs (since they are not on the ground) - Lack of a creator for its beauty segment now that Peter Phillps have joined competior, Dior - Lack of communication among different teams in headquarters. Everyone seems to be doing their own things which leads to disconnection and incomplete information - Materials for launches are typically late or incomplete= lack of communication - Local markets have less flexibility to adapt or modify launch materials given by headquarters, leading to frustrations as the marketing team may feel that its creativity is restricted - Career progression can be slow as people seem generally quite happy to stay in their role in the next 10 years

Management is incompetent. They don't know how to motivate their employees. They don't appreciate their employees or give them credit for ideas or a job well done. The Finance dept. turnover is tremendous. Has no one ever tried to figure out why? Isn' t that what an HR Dept. is for? The only reason that most of the managers have been there for decades is because they could not possibly find a decent job elsewhere. The good employees leave, and the incompetent ones stay. There is very little room for advancement or promotion. They nickel & dime the lower employees, but the executives get all the perks. The "caste" system in this place is horrible. They should try to treat all the employees equally, benefits, bonus, vacation, etc should not be based on your job title. Glad I got out when I did. Don't miss the place at all.
