Disheartening

Assistant store manager

Pros

Gratis per month, but it is cheapest option available. You don't get icons (premium skincare) but you expect to sell them every day. For full timers are two items to take home. Lovely products to work with. Customers usually friendly and easy going.

Cons

Countless. Upper management offering absolutely no support when you need them. Also you are frequently left alone on a floor because of tight budget. You feel like you are in high school again. Fake prosperity motto no one higher up follows. Backstabbing and promoting friends.

L'Occitane Response

Pros

Loved the product and the discount. Anti aging skin care was my favorite. Lots of perks and bonus opportunity if you work hard.

Cons

Depending on the manager you might be stuck with a know it or a do nothing type. Working with women is not easy however it was here that I had my worst experience. They pretend you are a friend and then stab you in the back at the first opportunity. Lesson learned, nobody is a friend.

Unfair Wage Practices.

Pros

Love the products and true stories. If you love French culture, you will love working at L'Occitane.

Cons

The wage gaps between employees are unfair and creates negative morale for the team, compounded by the fact that they have to work together in such small physical space together.
