Pros
Access to a wealth of knowledge that goes beyond retail and wholesale but running a business. You get what you put in and make of it what you want. There's complete transparency to the profitability of business and where dollars go and where your role in that lies. Health insurance benefits could not be better! They are AMAZING!!! Sometimes get free samples of jeans. Corporate campus is beautiful. Creativity and the intelligence of the people who work at LS&CO are of the highest standard. Employers seeing LS&CO on a resume should be quick to hire!
Cons
There is no training for entry level employees in corp office. Re-orgs are the norm. After a whole dept is wiped out from a re-org and you are doing the job that once took 3 people, another re-org will happen so you'll be doing the work of 4 people. Also, a year or two later the re-org that happens will be realizing all the people they let go from a dept, they now actually need, so they have employees from field offices uproot their families and lives to keep their jobs or let them go. They say they encourage work/life balance... passive aggressively you'll be shamed and punished for being sick or taking a vaca like it's an inconvenience. There is no accountability for any issues that arise and LOTS of finger pointing within depts, within teams, throughout the company... getting things done takes an act of God. Meetings, meetings, meetings, meetings.... gotta have another meeting to talk about that meeting we had over the meeting! Tons of redundant processes. Having internal conflict over doing what's best for LS&CO in regards to your account when you know your account is in the right and you have to be the bad guy. Other depts within the company not having realization or care to the fact of this burden they place on sales and again co doesn't hold any accountability....
