Pros

There really aren't any... Short days on Fridays.

Cons

If only one person reads this review and boycotts working for the company then I have at least saved one soul from the peril. I do not think that I have ever worked for a more unpleasant, unkind company. How the Management treat and speak to the employees below them is genuinely inhumane. Being made to feel incompetent whereas in reality, your intelligence and education exceeds theirs tenfold. If you enjoy being downtrodden, belittled and personally insulted in the most backhanded ways, as if they are trying to do you a favour by stripping your personality down to the core, then this is the company for you. The Management are forever trying to sell to you what an amazing company it is to work for, whereas it is just really outdated, their products are unpleasant and they are most certainly not open to innovation and ideas. Please do not be fooled by the lie 'people come to the company and they stay here'. They do not. I have never known for the amount of resignations that I witnessed in such a small time frame. The workforce are miserable, you could hear a pin drop. Romanticizing the company from Hubert just creating these things just for his wife, to selling to the world on a big scale... all they are is money driven, zero employee or even customer care, as long as their outdated products are lining pockets. The deceased founder will be spinning in his grave at the shambolic business ethics.

Pros

Free Products (as you'd expect)

Cons

Being a family company (far from how great it sounds at counter) is the first issue here. Horrible French mentality, utterly stingy, really not committed to professionality or to treating people well. Proof is the number of people that resigned all at once recently. Antiquated systems, completely behind the times at all levels of the business. An environment where people are bullied, treated unfairly, unless they have a senior management position (and actually even then they are bullied by the company owner and her terrible manner). I had the most awful time at this company and I really hope others avoid making the same mistake.

Pros

The best you can hope for is a good lesson in business on how NOT to run your business!!

Cons

* Poor working structure and very out of date! * Poor Management of counter due to slack Area Manager and head office communication. * Diabolical Management techniques from Area/ regional Manager! I can't fathom how any Manager can take on its position to feed their own ego. Management is fundamentally about identifying the needs of the business and SUPPORTING that... not breaking people down and crippling them for pleasure! * No support, no respect, no gratitude, no loyalty, you are not valued, you're underpaid, no honesty and you are treated like crap at every opportunity!! * The turnover of staff is extremely high!! * Your account is without a Counter Manager more often than not! *This business felt very much like a gang of false, pretentious, brainless, immature, jealous old hag wannabes and the focus is never truly on the business because too many people have a personal agenda! *The rota system is a complete embarrassment. *Uniforms are cheap and ugly and a bad representation of a luxury brand!
