Business outlook
Pros
Great creative innovation. Growth outpaces the industry. Marketing/visual campaigns and creative direction from France is strong. Privately held company allows for decision making to support artistic creativity and brand image preservation. Culture and values are starting to evolve into more competitive, modern business models.
Cons
Chanel tends to hire from outside the company, versus development, promotion and advancement. Work-life balance is not respected; this is a very demanding workplace! A dysfunctional disconnect between sales force and NY office is challenging to overcome. Change to processes and modernization is very slow.
