Pros

The team that we have at Chanel on New bond street in London is by far the most helpful, welcoming and fun team that I have ever worked with. I am so lucky to have been made a part of this. The opening hours is also a benefit as you leave at the latest 7pm and get in at the earliest 10am. Commission is also a bonus with us taking a huge amount of money each day you can imagine how this affects our salaries.

Cons

We have a large reputation in the world of luxury and sometimes this is difficult to compete with. The clients are often rude and aggressive if they cannot purchase a specific piece from the collection or it's currently sold out. Also weekends off are a rarity.

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.
