Pros

-High amount of responsibility given. -Autonomy -Good Culture -Great place for retail people -Good Vision -Great place for sports people I worked at Bangalore store as a sales manager for about an year, I would say company has some great plans to expand in India. They judge you on what you do.You can take your own decisions(autonomy),have flexible work timings(depends on manager),work with a set of diverse people. You get a chance to work from forecasting to cleaning the floors in a day.For me this was a very humbling experience as you see senior people doing the same for years.

Cons

-Poor Compensation I was paid a salary(say X) & was promised growth in salary(on paper,officially) after 6 months(of X+Y).The Y never happened even after 10 months.I spoke to senior french manager.He denied the fact that it was promised even after i showed him papers.Shows lack of honesty or transparency(Honesty being one of the core values). -I doubt if senior people respect company values. -They hardly respect Indians.(Saw french customers favoured compared to Indians)

Pros

For a student I can only recommend to work there. It was a great experience with a great team. Even in part time job, they are training you and try to improve your skills (sales, merchandising, supply-chain...). I learnt a lot, especially concerning team and store management.

Cons

I would say the salary. Which is strictly the minimum in France...
