Pros

The product - fun to sell. Colourful. Staff discount.

Cons

By far the absolute worst company to work for. There is so much potential for a great and positive work environment, but they continue to employ bullies and vile management. Their capability of spotting driven and head strong individuals is zero. Management would rather bully, or straight up fire someone for speaking up for themselves, whether it’s against discrimination, bullying or incompetence. The company will continue to fail in the UK as long as the heads up above continue with their archaic and disgusting views of “good management”. The training and development is poor to non-existing, and their lack of interest in personal development is shocking. HR are just as bad, wanting to promote Mental Health, but cant even listen or support someone when it comes to it. Instead…they’ll make you go away. Such a shame.

Pros

Employee Discount, Positive Culture, Legacy Community and shopper, partnership amongst store leaders, 100% health insurance covered for Store Managers and benefits otherwise are incredibly affordable and good quality. Le Creuset's benefits package is very good, although they are the first to admit their base salaries are not as strong as other retailers. But you'll be hard pressed to find another retailer who gives you 3 weeks of pto, plus sick time, floating holidays, and more upon hiring or entering your role from the jump. It is the best compensation package in regards to insurance and PTO I have ever had.

Cons

Small store teams, which can make scheduling challenging and not be condusive to the best customer service. However, after two decades in retails this is hardly unusual or unmanageable. Biggest opportunity is career advancement...for an international company, domestic opportunities to move up are few and far between. But this comes down to corporate structure and how retailers create their lines of support. Advancement can be tough if you can't or don't want to play the waiting game. With that being said, being able to relocate or move is a huge plus in opportunities.

Pros

Good discounts, merchandise is top quality.

Cons

Micromanagement from corporate, lines of communication don't follow through. I watched them struggle to find employees constantly.
