worst job i have ever had. ever. - Part Time Sales Associate L'Occitane Employee Review

frequent display changes (lots of trash and waste). gifts with purchase run out long before campaign is over. overpriced. catty management. no opportunities for advancement (while i worked here, i saw a new store manager hired who had never worked for L'Occitane before - she knew less than i did, was not familiar with the company's background or sales techniques, but would be in charge of a shop and all of its employees?! what?!). constant negativity and never any positive feedback. you have to meet your individual sales goals each week but you do not get anything for it unless the entire shop meets its collective goal, then everyone gets a meager bonus. very little product training before you start selling on the floor. frequent marketing changes with last-minute notice. white-glove store inspections (speck of dust? major points lost). strict, all black, business casual dress code. products are discontinued all the time, leading to disappointed and sometimes angry customers.
