Pros

You get a chance to meet some really amazing people. You get to learn all about the company, the bags and the creation process. Often times you can walk away with skills, experiences and outlooks that will help make your life easier.

Cons

In most individual stores, its very much about favoritism. Regardless of how many sales you make, if the manager of the store doesn't like you than you can expect to get booted out at the very first chance. Also, not all the staff are willing to help out and teach the new employees. Although most are fairly nice, it is also a commission based environment with target goals for each employee ranging anywhere from seven grand to ten grand per shift. In smaller stores with less traffic, it can become a very fake and hostile environment.

Pros

The best thing about working at Louis Vuitton is that you get to learn about the brand, the name of the bags and the sales are amazing. You get to meet nice customer and sometimes not so nice.

Cons

The staff was not so pleasant to work with. They were very arrogant. The management team is so picky about everything. It is like working at the army.

Pros

Louis Vuitton is the gold standard for luxury accessory retail. To learn their values and the story behind their craftsmanship is truly inspiring, and it can be fun to educate customers about the heritage of the brand. LV is a sterling luxury brand which never goes on sale and only has become more popular in recent years. The products essentially "sell themselves" and there is a nice mix of truly VIP high roller type clients and regular types. It is great to have on your resume and a good experience to have under your belt - it opens doors.

Cons

The situation is what you make of it, but a lot on the retail side depends on who you work for or which store. Because LV is in 50 or so countries much of the running of the stores is done locally and there are little companies that you will be a part of. The executive sales team is very competitive internally. What is a pro of LV - they attract TOP educated talent (Harvard Business School, Wharton MBA's, etc.) - can also be a con. During my time at the company we had several top executives end up running regions of stores with no retail experience with mixed results. As a manager it was challenging to develop my team, there are few tools (because so much is locally run) and I sometimes encouraged associates to leave the brand in order to get more experience.
