Cult-like company

Customer Representative (Former Employee) - United Kingdom - 13 July 2021

This company is part of L'Oreal. There is absolutely no work-life balance, they sell you this "empathy" work culture which is a lie to cover up that they don't pay their employees as they should and under that "empathy" speech they trick you into working long hours even on your days off, not being able to have any balance. There is a huge gap between how they treat HQ employees and store employees. No options to progress. I would not recommend to work in this company if you can find somewhere else to work

Cons

they don't value their employees

Lovely

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Waterloo Station - 10 January 2020

Really interesting and very fun place to work at, learned a lot from there and the environment was lovely. Although sometimes as every other work place gets a little bit challenging you just have to think out of the box and have you best outcome. All for the customer happiness

CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE (Former Employee) - Bath - 2 September 2019

As well as organising stock, I was mainly focused on connecting customers with the brand and ensuring they have a fantastic experience. Only two people on shift at a time and were generally only 9am-6pm.

Kiehl's sales associate London

Customer Representative (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 20 March 2019

Robotic with too much pressure to achieve targets by selling several items "per transaction", God forbid if a customer just comes to buy one face wash!!! Leave whatever is genuine about yourself: just say the lines they want and sell, sell, SELL!!!

Awful management

Store Manager (Former Employee) - Reading - 14 July 2018

A typical day at work consisted of focusing mainly advising customers on skincare regemins which I thoroughly enjoyed. Great training on products Area manager was horrendous, rude and unprofessional. I was accused of never being on the shop floor and that I was not running the store well enough. These were lies as my store was performing fine according to head of the UK and was at 100%+ to target. But seen as I was thought to be under performing there was no development plan put in place to help me improve, it was clearly a way of humiliating me to push me out of the company which I did! Hardest part was being trained to push 10+ products on customers rather than realistically reading the customers and listening to their wants and needs. Favourite part was learning about the products and I met some great people working within my store.

Pros

Good training

Cons

No work life balance.

Great Experience

Customer Representative (Current Employee) - Oxford Street - 22 March 2016

Working as a sales associate for Holland and Barrett was great, I got to help customers and feel I was making a difference in their personal lives. I also gathered lots of knowledge around botanicals, human biology and health in general. Typically I'd start by checking stock, filling up and controlling the shops displays. whilst doing that I'd multitask and approach customers offering till service as well as help with their enquiries.

Kiehl's provides very high quality, effective skincare

Kiehl's Customer Representative, (Current Employee) - Newcastle upon Tyne, ENG - 3 June 2015

They ensure their staff are trained not only to sell the products but also to give real help and advice to their customers.This is an ideal job not only for people who enjoy customer service centred jobs but who genuinely like to help people.
