Pros

Honestly one of the best companies you could work for. AMAZING BENEFITS. It's very hands on and no day is ever the same.

Cons

It's difficult to advance given the structure of the organization. There is almost no training so you learn as you go.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your HR Business Partner would be a great person to reach out to about learning and growth opportunities, including classes that are held at the Duluth location, and other virtual opportunities. He/She can also help tailor a learning path that's right for you given your role, your interests, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Please share any feedback on either the benefits or compensation packages with HR as they definitely welcome and seek employee input on both.

Pros

Organization has matured significantly over the last four years. The department I work in does promote from within and opportunities are available on a fairly consistent basis. They have changed key points of management and restructured the organization. Initially there was some confusion related to these changes but it actually appears to be working. Work life balance is significantly better than it had been. My peer group is improving as management really focuses on hiring great talent. Team members are also staying longer. I received very fair raises in the last few years that made me feel like I was being recognized for my contributions. I am encouraged to pursue training opportunities and provided chances to participate.

Cons

Tools and applications are the biggest problem. There are so many and they are not really supported. Management seems to be working on it but the progress is very slow. The company needs to invest in this area.
