If you value career growth, do not work here.
Pros
Laid back environment, mostly everyone has good values and ethics. I made a lot of genuine friends that I will stay in contact with for a long time. Lands' End does a pretty good job at hiring nice people that work hard and make due. As long as you are not ridiculously stupid, you will maintain your spot here. You can even be exceptionally stupid and hold a spot here that has a lot of "visibility"! Seriously though, if you are a personable individual with decent skills, you will make it just fine here. *dependent on department you are in The company has a good relocation package. The new interim CEOs, I believe, will put the company back in the right direction.
Cons
Where to start? 1) Let's start with the fact that if you are anything below a Senior Director here, you will be creating report after report after report until the Senior Directors, VPs, or execs see what they want to see. It doesn't matter how logical you are in your forecast, plan, or assumptions; if it doesn't show the half-baked margin or turn they want to see, it's a waste of time. Trust me, your managers feel the same way. In fact most senior directors also feel the same way, which speaks volumes about LE corporate executives. This could, however, go away with the most recent CEO departure. 2) There's no strategy per the first point above; and if there is, it's coming from the top week after week, changing again and again. No one seems to know the true strategy of this company despite their important, analytical positions within the company. 3) If you want a challenging career where you make legitimate decisions and analysis, refer to points above. Depending on how long you stay here, you are limiting your options post LE. This has to do with the company's lack of technology (most systems 20+ years old), leadership, and structure. The ERP system should help LE, but only if there are people still around that will understand how to use it effectively. 4) No wage increase or bonus in how long? But company morale is just as good as it's ever been? Give me a break. 5) Corporate HQ is located in Dodgeville and a decent portion of its professional work force is old and unwilling to change. Because of this and points above, there are a lot of departments that simply wait to be told what to do when in reality their positions are meant to be analytical positions.
