Pros

Heritage of the brand, Fragrances

Cons

CEO & Senior management abuse power and treat professionals unfairly and without respect Disorganisation and chaos among departments Concealed senior management strategies and unclear business objectives Lack of integrity, blaming junior team members for senior management's mistakes, senseless spending and professional inadequacy The talent review process is unfair and most of the scores and comments are made up Dishonest office culture, HR doesn't support employees and promotes unprofessional behaviours Employees turnover is insanely high - talented and successful individuals fleet the company within a year No understanding of brand development and creative, the management relies on copying rather that using internal talent and originality Egos and lifestyle maintenance prevale on company values and talent nurturing

Pros

Essentially, the beautiful products along with heritage and legacy of Penhaligon's. I must have a twenty word minimum, but honestly there are no pros.

Cons

Salary---you cannot expect to hire people of exceptional skill and talent with extensive knowledge and experience a menial wage. That is absolutely unacceptable! Value your employees. We are the ones making your business thrive!!! Management is completely disorganized. Very poor structure. No communication. Upper management avoids issues at all costs. Does not evoke "luxury" status. ***Why pay someone with great knowledge and experience of/with fragrance the same wage as one who does not have any experience with perfume, let alone the luxury industry? What sense does that make?
