Pros

The relationship between the associates 50% Discount Birthday gift card

Cons

I was very happy to work at L'Occitane for the first years. They were very generous and had a good sense of ethics. But it ended up going downhill. The head office and the managers they hired are very incompetent. They barely respond to our emails and phone calls. All they care about is having someone on the floor selling the products. We used to have gratis and tons of great contest with fun prizes that were really motivating. Now they were offering Dairy Queen gift certificates to the winners, which I find very insulting and cheap considering that L'Occitane is a high end cosmetics brand. The company doesn't think about the environment, the amount of waste they produce and send us is insane and very hard to manage. The turnover rate made things really hard, sometimes they would ask some employees to work 6 days a week alone, or to fly to other cities because all the staff were gone. The quality of the products and packaging declined a lot.

Pros

The gratis was great and full size. I enjoy the district I was in with other managers. Love the team I had

Cons

Always changing every week the koi. Then include Divine cream as a kpi. No matter if my skin are was above the goal of 25% to sales, mostly at 35%. Yet get in trouble because of it not being Divine cream. Before I left, many people were leaving, dm, regionals, corporate people became dm. It was crazy. By the way they do not promote from within.
