Think twice before accepting offer.  The job culture is non-existent.  Days are long due to extremely low traffic.  Not enough repeat clients to consistently meet business goals.  Favoritism runs rampant. Pretentious attitude from employees often cause tension and unnecessary stress on the work environment.  

It seemed like a great opportunity from the outside looking in, however, this business appeals only to those who want to work in a setting where employees constantly berate clients behind their backs...especially the ones who just walk in to discover the product but don't spend, put on airs of prestige, and feel as though they are better than others simply because they work around luxury goods everyday.  High level client transactions are often distributed unfairly to appease egos.  Constant pressure from management to put on an "act", to "fit-in" with the awkwardness always on display.  Immature behaviors from tenured staff often gets swept under the rug due to understaffed stores.  

You'll feel like a fish in a fish bowl!

The brand has beautiful and high quality products but it has the worst culture and work environment. My North American CEO is a people person, listens to all feedback from everyone, and motivates and supports the success of all employees individually and as a group.  However, some corporate partners and some direct supervisors are the complete opposite. 
The buying team does not communicate with the store, nor listens to feedback about store needs to achieve sales targets. The brand has very strict visual standards to be followed globally in all stores but they do not support all stores with the basic products to meet these standards and if one brings it up they get upset. 
The Director of Stores for one region should not be in a position of managing people. 
Inadequate headcount in most stores, Extremely low staff because of poor culture, everyone is stretched thin and overworked.

Once you get hired, this is a great company to work for. Excellent job security and benefits. The uniform has evolved and is comfortable, they dry clean for you. It’s an unexpected great perk because the wardrobe would be essentially unattainable for most people who need to work for money. Each store has its own culture, so it really depends where you are and the management. Expectations for sales and relationships are VERY high, but you are rewarded and compensated well. Training is extensive and the company provides a lot of resources. 

Slow paste environment.  If you are looking for higher commission pay, this is not the place to work.  But they pay higher hourly than the most retail stores do.  They do not encourage employees to work overtime if not necessary.  You must learn and memorize product's names, details, and the company heritage.  They take shopper's experience seriously.  They expect you to call each product by name when you introduce to customer.  Each product has its own name.  Products Knowledge Test twice a year.

The finest cashmere in the world ...
No marketing nor exposure to this wonder component of LVMH

Extremely pretentious work environment... Team work was selfish and alot of favoritism was displayed. No review was done and when it did , the raise was extremely insulting.  I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone . It was a very disappointing place to work .

I enjoyed  working with such beautiful product, but often felt over worked and under appreciated.  Once previous CEO left, there a shift for the worst internally.  Lack of vision, support, and internal growth.  Not a great environment to be in.

During my management at Loro Piana, my regional wasn’t supportive and always finds a way to get rid of employees and managers. Finally they find a reasoning for letting me go. The reason was I didn’t communicate on few occasions when I left for work early. “I went to the hospital for my gout at the time and told my ASM to cover and to communicate with corporate
