Generous package, slow pace but...

Pros

Staff discount, entitled to medical benefit on your first day. Much slower work pace than your usual fortune 500. Package relatively generous.

Cons

Opaque structure, getting things done is an assiduous process of meetings after meetings & painfully slow. ditto with previous poster, it is about licking the right ass. Unfriendly and highly political. Survival in the company highly depends on luck.

Pros

The best part about working for Chanel is you are representing a luzury line of cxosmetics that truly produces the best in cosmetic products.

Cons

There is alot of pressure to sell alot and remember to hit all axsise of the products they carry which is sometimes very challenging to get it all in. The product is expensive I enjoy using them myself the Gratis does not include color and seasnal products that you are showing. It can be very expensive I wish the would allow us to have a few pieces of the new colors as they come out.

Pros

Iconic brand, beautiful products, cutting-edge creators in Paris set global trends for all others to follow. Beautiful offices, great name to put on a resume.

Cons

What used to be an amazing place to work has turned into an absolutely toxic environment with apathetic, self-serving and self-important leaders, starting at the top. As others have reported, you need to be one of the "favorites," or French, to get ahead, get noticed, or get developed. And even if you manage to work your way into this envied position, don't be fooled or get too comfortable -- heads will roll and blame placed in the blink of an eye or at the whim of a temperamental leader. Technology is far behind, human resources is clueless and robotic.
