Pros of working at Lands' End

If you work hard, you can climb the ladder which will look good on the resume. Great people (depending on dept.) and good benefits.

Cons of working at Lands' End

If you come here without a plan, you could get stuck doing something you hate. If you find yourself in a position that you realize is not a fit for you, it can be hard to get out of it. Some Leads, not all, like to keep a thumb on you and keep you where you are for their dept's benefit.

Lands' End Benefits

I've worked at several places and despite it's problems, Lands End is still the best overall.

Pros of working at Lands' End

There is a lot of room to grow your knowledge because IT Mgrs try to be Project Mgr's and they aren't trained.

Cons of working at Lands' End

IT management is discombobulated. MGR's with 20+ yrs of experience are poorly trained in things unrelated to simply managing their teams, meaning they try to also be PM's causing so many "do overs". Directors hear something cool at a conference somewhere and then come back and set policy the next week without actually reviewing whether there is a true need or benefit. So much wasted $$, time and effort as a result. Year over year. When things start to go south, lower IT personnel pay the price. Also, the jobs are in Dodgeville. Remote is OK for some managers (until Covid is past). Plan on your mgr reversing course and moving you along when you say... "Wait... what?" or, prepare for a long drive.

Lands' End Benefits

Discount on Lands'End goods is 50%. You also get a discount card for Sears.

Pros of working at Lands' End

Snow days because you don't have to commute all the way to Dodgeville and it allows you to avoid all the toxic people.

Cons of working at Lands' End

The old timers that should retire are bitter and angry that the company is no longer the way it was when Gary Comer was alive. They cling to old ways. They hang onto decades of samples. They get a bit particular about hangers of all things. When they get bored they stir the pot and create disharmony. LE has far too many layers of mid management and the merchandising people are indecisive because they have too many lines per season and really don't have a solid grasp of their customer base. Training new employees and further education is not in the scope of practice. In meetings the most senior ranking person speaks and the rest of the team must be silent. You can't be candid and say something isn't going well in the pricess, your options are to lie, divert attention or ignore the question.

Lands' End Benefits

Sample sales are fun.

Pros of working at Lands' End

The flexibility of scheduling is the best part of working at Lands' End.

Cons of working at Lands' End

Lands End continues to hire new employees instead of giving long term employees additional hours. At certain times of year,we sometimes can be scheduled for as little as one eight hour shift. Also, there are very few "full-time" employee slots (which are only 32 guaranteed hours), and the only way a position opens is when someone quits or retires. Advancement is next to impossible.

Lands' End Benefits

Used to be product discounts, although now that Lands End is so promotional, customers can often get merchandise for less money AND free shipping (employees do NOT receive free shipping).
