Will not make you feel valued as an employee. Make people feel disposable. Under paid and over worked is the main point with this company. Would not recommend this place for a career.

Honestly, I've read these comments, and I guess it depends which location you work for.

I absolutely adore going to work and I've worked there for 4 years (no, i'm not from head office haha). My co-workers and customers are a major reason why I enjoy it. The company itself has definitely taken a pitfall, but that doesn't mean it's not a bad job. Yes, it's competitive, but you need to work for...

I have worked for the company for a year and had a transfer to a different location hoping my few on the company would change. They have not. The company only cares about paying you as little as possible over working you and best of all no raises. As you are on comission. You are told regularly that you only value to the company is how much you can make for the company, nothing else.

i don't even want to know how downhill it's gotten! when I started working there over ten years ago, it was a hip spot with a rad commission structure and super cheap and fun fashion. then they got greedy, shifted around "commission" and started trying to be more upscale by charging more for heinous clothing. i quit after finishing university. thank god it was just a part-time job for me. i can't...

I just started and am already looking to leave. what a waste of time.. such unfair compensation considering the amount of work you have to do (they understaff their stores.. leaving you and one other person to do stock, merchandise, security, cash handling, customer service, and cleaning duties in a busy store)

I was with this company for 7 years. Started with lots of promises that were quickly broken. The pay versus what they expect from an employee is ridiculous. Terrible communication from head office to the stores. Since the company is having problems they expect us to do more with less hours. Then they send out an email celebrating how much they are saving from over working their employees,...

If I had only own about this website I would not have wasted my time working for such a disorganized company thats pay structure is broken promises and people are hired off f the streets or something. If you want to sell higher end, please hire experienced sales people that are older than 16.

I am currently working for LeChateau Polo Park Winnipeg. I have been with this company for three months, enjoy going to work everyday.

Sad to say, the company is not doing so well as it used to. It was a great place to work, when I first started five years ago in the number one store in the company. But things are very different now. They have inexperienced managers and every day they make and break new rules and very poor communication. The reason why I quit is because, I am not making any money there anymore (the company has...

hired as assistant manager in Markham, ON... quit within my 3 months probation... i know it was a short time but i wish i could get those 2 or so months of my life back, nor can i get back the money i spent to adhere to dress code... at least i got out sooner rather than later

during the interview, the interviewer really hyped up the position and compensation..... first week there i already...

Worked at Le Chateau on Vancouver Island for 6 months. Went from part-time style specialist to full-time keyholder and also handled the entire Menswear side of the store. Seemed decent at first until I realized just how their commission structure works. You don't get your hourly wage + commission. They do the math and if your commission amount is greater than what you'd get paid hourly, you just...

A lot of well qualified, hard working colleagues with integrity, strong work ethics have left.

there is no such a thing called ''team work'' . very poor managment team in toronto .i wish the owner or head office members would be aware of this and would do something about it ...

they don't respect their employees , they let their employees go without reason or notice.

too much stress for what...

I am mad that i could not give negative stars. I have been with the company for almost a year and have worked my way up to assistant manager, or merchandising assistant manager, or product consultant. its hard to keep track bc of all the changes in less than a year. I was in charge just last week as the manager was on holidays and I took my store to 2nd in the entire company and when the...

This is an absolutely awful place to work. As many of previous commenters have pointed out; the company is mismanaged. They do not hire people who are qualified for the positions they are in. They do not respect nor take any advice from their employees.

Le Chateau is completely mismanaged. The company has been doing poorly but they will not listen to sugestions from any of their employees. Do not work here unless your desperate or possibly as a student working part-time. They expect the world out of their employees but give them nothing but crap. Working hard for this company will get you no benefits, they will just pile on more work and expect...

I DO NOT RECOMMEND WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY

OKAY. so i worked at le chateau in HAMILTON, ON. it was a nightmare all i have to say is the interview process was great you get totally mislead into something that you were NOT prepared for. I was told i would be in this fabulous work setting, and that I would actually be trained.... I was never trained. I worked there for over a month on my first shift i was told to go "help customers" which I...

I worked for three years with Le Chateau in the Calgary district.I was a store manager. Working for this company was a complete nightmare. Promises by superiors are never kept, compensation is a joke, there is no work/life balance if you want to work management, expectations are completely ludicrous and contradictory. They tell you that selling is your number one priority, but when other tasks...

I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

In the short time I worked at this corporation, I had experienced so much frustration for a number of reasons: work environment, overtime and poor wages. It doesn't matter how hard you work, or how much you want to grow-it will be unlikely that you are given the opportunity. Management plays favourites, which makes for a very unprofessional environment. Many of the hires are not qualified for the...

0 stars was not an option.... that's too bad!

I was with Le Chateau for 6 years. I started as a shoe specialist and went on to be a part time style specialist, key holder, and assistant manager over the years. It was never something I planned to make into a career, it was just a good job to have while I went to University. It has it's ups and downs.

The 50% off discount is great, not many retailers give their staff that much of a discount....

The management and human resources are ridiculous. They have a very negative atmosphere. They expect you to sell so much money and finish a million tasks a day at the same time, if you don't do both of these things than they make you feel guilty. They put all the cleaning tasks on the closing person. They do not pay attention to availability. They treat their employees like criminals with bag...

Le Chateau is a terrific employer to work for. The commission structure is terrific and quite lucrative if you sell with the GUEST model in mind. now and then I would see staff members in my workplace who weren't particularly interested in helping customers or were too uncomfortable with sales to do it properly. These were the people who were complaining about the lack of commission they were...

I worked for Le Chateau for almost a year, and the kind of stress and pressure they put on their employees isn't worth the minimun wage and TERRIBLE commission structure. The overpriced items and pretentiousness of management is just a few reasons why I would not recommend anyone to work here. The interview process is long and unnecessary. They do not treat their employees with respect. A...

Let's talk about the HR department and how these clowns hire people...

First of all they are extremely slow to make a decision so they keep you waiting for weeks on as if you dont have other offers to consider besides them. They ask you do do 'tests' which look more like free work for them so they can determine if your the correct candidate. The seem to like to waste your time and not...

Le Chateau takes every available opportunity to keep money from customers and employers. They have unfair store policies and extremely high prices for the customers and for the employees give the illusion of achieving commission; which after working there a year have only achieved once or twice, due to extremely high sales quota. The management expects too much from its employees for working at...

Worked there over ten years ago and surprised by the comments. I guess they haven't changed much to improve. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Le Chateau is the worst company I have ever worked for. I was at Head Office and it was a complete nightmare. The employees are over worked and always ready to step on someone else to get ahead, and the managment encourage it. You will never be recognized for your hard work and the minute you make a little mistake you will hear about it until you either quite or they find some little reason to...

I worked Le Chateau for a few years and will never go back, although the money is great, the effects this job takes on you life is not worth it.

Take a less paying and be happier, really it's not worth it!

I worked for le chateau for a while as a sales associate,

I was one of their top sales associates in the nation,

Le chateau is a brand that is starting out still in my opinion, however they are jumping too far ahead, they need to learn basic skill such as floor management.

Im not sure if you notice that le chateau is the most unorganized store in any mall you go to, this is due to the lack of...

Terrible.... just terrible.

?HUh? division:superman

Worst possible place to work. Made The Gazette's top employer list only because they bought their spot on the list. Don't shop there, I'm sure they purchase from sweatshops in China.
