Pros
The company cares about community it is in, in terms of communtiy support. An excellent employee discount program for retail purchases. An excellent health care program, although relatively expensive. An adequate 401k program. Support for outdoor endeavors within both the local and national communities. LLbean does provide a good pay scale compared to comparable jobs within the same markets.
Cons
-unclear expectations -managers do not give adequate feedback -poor employee review process -extreme favoritism within workgroups -unrealistic expectations with regard to scheduling -In many ways the company is stuck in the past.(Especially in regards to computer related systems). It always seems like LL Bean is a step or two behind the rest of the world in terms of technology.
