Pros

GREAT TRAINING!!! Generous gratis and a brand that sells itself!!!

Cons

The uniforms are very matronly and uncomfortable during the summer. We cant wear fake lashes even though I know the models for the ads do. If you want to move up within the company expect it to take for ever. You will start as a analyste then if you work your butt off get promoted to counter manager. That is were you really have to prove yourself for at least a couple years. So basically expect at least 5 years in a store before considered for an account coordinator/executive position.

Pros

Discount, bragging rights, nice view from the 44th floor

Cons

Moving up is not based on performance but on brown nosing the right people. Skills, expertise and background are not used in the appropriate way to benefit both the company and employee. There is no trust and it is not an open environment to learn and be exposed to decision making. There is a lot of talk and no action... things are said to get better, but time moves veryyy slow at Chanel. I would recommend this environment for someone who is already established and moving into a director level or above and not for anyone looking to grow their career.
