Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at French Connection full-time for more than a year
Pros
Good discount benefits and uniform package
Cons
High overturn of management, limitations in internal progress i.e. unwillingness to recognise the potential when you've been in the company for years. Seemed there was favoritism towards those that the regional manager actually liked as opposed to actual work ethic. Poor pay.
