L'Occitane reviews

Where to begin!! Head Office held no regard for their employees whatsoever. Regardless of sales records, time spent with the company, customer allegiance, and good attitude, they did not care about your welfare whatsoever. If any sort of conflict came up, they resorted to firing the individual, hiring someone new, and going through the whole training process all over again, rather than just talking it out and coming up with a solution. The turn-over rate at this company was ridiculous. I started in the fall and by winter I was the longest standing employee, and had watched handfuls of employees and managers walk in and out. And for good reason, as they had no problem with ripping their employees off - rather than paying someone overtime, they'd switch them to salary and work them well over 40 hrs. a week. When they make store visits, they go around to all of the employees, attempting to get "dirt" on everyone, if you will, and yet never take the time to ask you personally how you think things are going. They believe your job/career should be your priority at all times; asking for time off is considered a huge annoyance and jepordizes your reputation as a dedicated worker. This company was so corrupt, it was a wonder I stayed as long as I did.

The uniform is a big drag. Most places make you wear it, bit it was so unattractive. It's not an easy job to manage of you have something else in your life like a dog, kids, a second job, etc. It's pretty easy if you only work at this job part or full time.
