Pros

Remuneration and incentives are very motivating. Thorough, regular and effective training provided. Senior management are knowledgeable. Chanel takes care of their staff like no one else.

Cons

Limited opportunity to progress within the company, but this is because no one wants to leave (ie. very loyal staff).

Pros

The people in the office were fun and engaging and enjoyed sharing advice and their experiences in the business. Overall a very good learning experience in a friendly, dynamic work environment.

Cons

Sometimes the work was tedious - basic data input. Also sometimes they could not find enough work for the interns and we would end up hanging around the office.

Pros

It was an eye-opening experience that truly expanded my horizons; I had never previously witnessed such a unique combination of incompetence and toxicity in the workplace

Cons

The management culture is highly problematic, characterized by a lack of professional competence and a focus on toxic office politics rather than productivity. The environment is emotionally draining, lacks basic mutual respect, and severely lacks constructive communication, making it an unsustainable place for professional growth
