Pros

A lot of potential Strong heritage and roots Comer Center activities, especially for families Benefits like summer hours and employee discount

Cons

Execution of everything is a disaster Extremely high employee turnover Most employees are doing multiple people's jobs with no appreciation Leadership does what it wants despite data to the contrary No clear strategy Some leaders are truly disrespectful of people/points of view that are different than own Ineffective communication which leads to poor collaboration and execution

Pros

Many of the people are like extended family. The Comer Center - free on-site gym is a nice benefit. Onsite clinic also very nice to have. How enjoyable it is to work at Lands' End can depend on what department you join, what group of people. Some are welcoming and supportive; some are less so. (Probably true anywhere.) Company is willing to promote people into new/different positions when there is a fit or near-fit, allowing career growth. Benefits are decent, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401K partial match, various misc discounts.

Cons

No bonuses to speak of for several years. There are no cost of living raises for salaried folks, but "merit" raises, which are therefore not evenly distributed and don't always keep up with cost of living. Promotions and corresponding raises more often go to those who live in the Madison area as they are more likely to leave for a shorter drive or better paying position. Those who live nearby or are long-term employees seem to be taken for granted by upper management. Tuition assistance was discontinued several years ago.

Pros

None. Ask anyone that currently works there.

Cons

This will not be another long, seething rant of condemnation. The many issues with this employer and workplace have already been outlined at length in the negative reviews. Based on my own experience, I feel compelled to strongly urge anyone that is considering an opportunity or evaluating an offer in the corporate office to simply not do it. Please read the negative reviews written on this site and read them again. Your experience will not be any different. Spare yourself, your family, and your emotional well-being, of this abusive situation.
