Lands' End CEO and leadership

My manager and the people are the best thing about working here.

No clear career path is set out and the bonus structure for sales is more complicated than it needs to be.

Work from home along with work/life balance.

There is a lot of room to grow your knowledge because IT Mgrs try to be Project Mgr's and they aren't trained.

IT management is discombobulated. MGR's with 20+ yrs of experience are poorly trained in things unrelated to simply managing their teams, meaning they try to also be PM's causing so many "do overs". Directors hear something cool at a conference somewhere and then come back and set policy the next week without actually reviewing whether there is a true need or benefit. So much wasted $$, time and effort as a result. Year over year. When things start to go south, lower IT personnel pay the price. Also, the jobs are in Dodgeville. Remote is OK for some managers (until Covid is past). Plan on your mgr reversing course and moving you along when you say... "Wait... what?" or, prepare for a long drive.

Discount on Lands'End goods is 50%. You also get a discount card for Sears.

Snow days because you don't have to commute all the way to Dodgeville and it allows you to avoid all the toxic people.

The old timers that should retire are bitter and angry that the company is no longer the way it was when Gary Comer was alive. They cling to old ways. They hang onto decades of samples. They get a bit particular about hangers of all things. When they get bored they stir the pot and create disharmony. LE has far too many layers of mid management and the merchandising people are indecisive because they have too many lines per season and really don't have a solid grasp of their customer base. Training new employees and further education is not in the scope of practice. In meetings the most senior ranking person speaks and the rest of the team must be silent. You can't be candid and say something isn't going well in the pricess, your options are to lie, divert attention or ignore the question.

Sample sales are fun.
