Chanel reviews

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.

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.
