Pros

I love the heritage of the company.

Cons

It's challenging working for Chanel and a department store at that same time. The politics involved and such.

Bit of a let down

Pros

One of the top brand names to work for in luxury retail Amazing products with fantastic history and craftsmanship Staff sales annually Free beauty products & Costume Jewellery as uniform allowance (for girls only) Beauty & Fragrance orders several times a year heavily discounted (Male & female) Basic Salary plus group commission (not many places offer group commission which I feel is better as individual can sometimes cause issues between the team)

Cons

Uniform allowance applies to girls only for beauty products and costume jewelery There doesn't seem to be one unified working experience between various boutiques They have very high "pass the blame" mentality Operations are very backwards with very little room if any for suggestion bullying by management takes place on a regular basis with pressure put on certain individuals who aren't liked. Training is non existent but people are blamed for things not done correctly when they've never been taught the correct way in the first place The basic salary is not very good and could be more reflective of job expectations and work experience extremely slim chances of any sort of progression
