Pros

I love working for L'Occitane in the Greater Washington area. I have grown immensely from their investment in my talent both professionally and personally. At work I have learned to be a leader before a manager through effective team accountability and delegation. I am trusting more every day. I work for people who inspire me to be more successful than I knew possible, and I know my staff feels the same way about me. It's amazing to see the openness and respect in and out of my store throughout the lives who I am able to touch from each associate to every customer. I am very grateful to work for this company and in this district. If you don't consider retail employment here, you are seriously missing out.

Cons

I am required to put 5 words here but I honestly had no cons. I have been taught to see the positivity in every lesson from the senior management in this company.

Pros

The pros at this company are it people, their benefit package is really great, you get more vacation time than most companies, and their employee discount is high at 40% off

Cons

The Leadership team has no vision and feels stuck in their ways. They are trying to run the company as its ran in Europe and clearly is not working here in the US. These are two completely different markets. There is no growth here, when you get promoted you receive A higher title but continue to do the same work so you do not learn or grow your skill sets. The HR team feels nonexistent. They are not easily accessible and once you actually sit with them nothing is done to your benefit.

Pros

Get great gifts for employees and customers Nice coworker/ customers Good discounts 40% Good products Nothing you can't get any other retailer...

Cons

Company seems to be upscale but is the exact opposite. Managment is subpar they don't understand business in the retail space, it seems they are just trying to check off list the corprate gives them to succeed but they are missing the most important thing the customers and the people who interact with them have to be inSync. For example telling use to sell 100 of a product is ok but then we the customer isn't getting what they need or want just being tricked into purchasing what we had plainer for the day . Make me feel like a sleazy car sales man! Another con is they pay "high end associates " like a McDonald's employees . (I have experience in high end retailers as Managment and took this position to see if I would like to work here and I wouldn't suggest any one with retail experience to work here only high school kids and ore people just getting into the Field.)
