    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Aesop appreciate the aesthetically pleasing working environment, the diverse and interesting product range, and the company's culture and philosophy. They also value the good staff benefits and attractive discounts offered.

    However, some potential areas for improvement include improved communication and transparency from management, better structured training for new employees, addressing unprofessional conduct from certain staff members, potential issues with management such as lack of trust and poor complaint handling, the stress caused by targets and KPIs, and limited opportunities for internal career progression.

    Floor staff are incomprehensible
    The good thingsDiverse product range to suit current trends and demands
    The challengesTraining for new comers isn't well structured, lacks comprehensiveness. Existing staff in certain stores are extremely attention-seeking and thrive on unnecessary gossip. Service attitudes from them depends on how much you're purchasing.
