Pros
No sales commission, so the work climate is not as cut-throat as most other high end retailers. You get paid bi-yearly bonuses based both on your overall performance (sales, attendance, employee relations, etc) and the stores overall performance. This creates more of a sense of teamwork amongst most employees. Since there's no commission the hourly pay is considerably higher than commissioned sales jobs. I've been with the company for years and worked in several stores and had mixed experiences. They offer great, full benefits. The paid time off is very, very generous. You start off with 2 weeks of paid vacation, 4 paid personal days, and 5 paid sick days per year. After 4 year you get an additional week of paid vacation and after 7 years another additional week. That's almost 6 paid weeks off, which is virtually unheard of in the U.S. The company provides you with free uniforms and free dry cleaning. The discount is very generous as well.
Cons
High turnover rate, even for retail. Managers come and go often, making it difficult to establish a high level working relationship with your boss. Often times things are going very well for the store, a manager leaves, we get a new one, they do things differently, and sometimes their way of running the show doesn't work out very well. HR is horrible and the laughing stock of the high-end retail world. They do very little to lookout for your well-being and instill a sense of fair treatment. If you ever have an issue they would rather sweep things under the rug than deal with them head on. HR also has a fairly high turnover rate. In fact, LVNA corporate in general, has a somewhat high turnover rate. Between the corporate and store level turnover rates, it makes it difficult to be noticed for doing your job well. Do one thing wrong though, and they notice immediately and most often times write you up even for the smallest mistake. This is why the management and sales staff turnover is so very high.

Pros
-Some of the best coworkers I've ever had, both new hires and dedicated employees of over 15 years -Much better paying than regular retail -High energy environment, if you can handle it
Cons
-Management is in the business of exploiting their employees for their own numbers and bonuses -Company policy is to aim for high turnover to save money on benefits and retirement, getting significantly worse within the past year, driving 20 year veterans to walk out or retire early -If management doesn't want you there they won't fire you, they will give you the option to take a fraction of a paycheck and resign to forfeit benefits, or take on new "goals" that are designed to make you quit so you can't get unemployment. This happened to several peers, everyone takes the check. -Corporate trains management to view sales staff not as people but as "their own little stores" where if you push them hard enough to reach their own goals, they get to keep their jobs, if they don't make their numbers, you close the store, very sick mindset that pushes even seasoned veterans to the edge -The job does not end at the store, you will be on your LV phone before and after work trying to close deals to meet your goals -Despite how rich LV is, they will try to keep your hours just below full time to avoid benefits, or push you to 40 hours a week in intervals that don't qualify you for benefits, their business model is to make clients loyal and save as much money as they can with their own staff
