Pros

Started working about a year before all major layoffs....that's when Steffan Larson came along as CEO (he's not anymore). Times were good but I could see how a major restructure was needed. I escaped that round of layoffs and was able to work for another team, but was recently a 'victim'. I absolutely loved my time at RL....pay was excellent, job was good but no real structure, but the best part of my day was the people I worked with. Spending all of your days with people who you see more than your own family and friends leaves a lasting impression on you and I miss them all everyday. I took care of them, and they made my days wonderful. Great discounts and fun work activities yearly.

Cons

Now is probably not the best time to work for this company as they are still doing layoffs and restructuring, but I am hoping that at some point they bring me back.

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
