Le Chateau Inc Employer Reviews

As a product manager I was excepted to merchandise a huge store with new directives every week. Along with that, twice a week there were transfers to other locations, merchandise recall to H.O, huge markdowns,price adjustments and at least 10 boxes of stock every day! On top of that assist customers! Sometimes there's yourself and 1 other staff member – more... to run the show until the second shift arrives at 1.00 pm. However that is not the worst part of the job, it's dealing with a arrogant visual manager who berates and belittles instead of being supportive and encouraging. – less

This company seems great to work for but without a doubt, will end your employment and turn their back on you at the drop of a dime.

I started in the Niagara falls store when it opened March of last year. I was a very dedicated employee who worked hard consistently, was never late, never in trouble for anything and always being complimented on my work – more... by other employees and customers.

I found my job there as assistant manager and men's product manager to be extremely difficult because the other manager's who worked at this location did nothing. One was always tired and had sore feet blah blah blah. The other was way to laid back and the response to all of your concerns was "it is what it is"

I liked the store to be neat, clean and organized, but they didn't care. The problems I encountered were problems that were had by other staff since the store opening almost a year ago. Nothing was done in one year, of these ongoing issues.

There was an mutual argument between my manager and I one night and that was it, she claimed that she felt unsafe working with me which was completely used to her advantage to get me out of there.

That was it, FIRED! I was never given an actual reason for termination, never told what was said about me...NOTHING!!

The problem starts with the supervisor who comes into your workplace and is always probing the staff about what the manager says and does. So much negativaty. The whole company is a complete waste of time. Trying to pursue a career with these guys is next to impossible because you have no job security. A company under no circumstances should just let you go like this, no questions asked.

Le château is not welcome to contact me in any way shape or form except regarding current issues of why I was not paid lieu pay for being terminated without notice. – less

Very unprofessional from beginning to end. Wasted a lot of time during interview process, HR made me come in twice more than I had to. The first time because HR did not coordinate their schedule with my department's management for an interview and the second time was to confirm what they had told me the second time.

However, management was very nice – more... and so were my colleagues, except for the woman I worked with. She was controlling and abusive, would not allow me to do anything without her approval and refused to answer my questions. She was condescending and would never allow me to leave until much later (she is in the same junior position as me but has worked for over 10 years).

Management does not know how to deal with these problems, would blame you for being in that position in the first place.

When I gave in my two weeks, management gave me the cold shoulder for the remaining two weeks. Did not even wish good luck, pretended I did not exist anymore.

Do not work here unless you really need a job. – less

Very busy days and many deadlines to meet. I learned to work fast and accurately. I learned about different fabrics and the process of purchasing and garment development.I learned to create detailed fabric information in programs called Merchandising and DS Taxi so that detailed reports could be used. I organized the filing system and made sure the – more... department was in order. I became the "go to person" for help. Management expected answers and results quickly.
The hardest part of the job was to cater to everyone's needs in a timely manner.
The best part of the job is that you learn a lot. – less
