Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at L.L. Bean full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great benefits, time off and 401k
Cons
Middle Management is stuck in their own way and does not reflect the direction the CEO is trying to take the company. Also the field leadership is not open to feedback and therefore one can feel unappreciated and heavily micro-managed.
Advice to Management
Actively Listen to your employees and work as hard to make them feel appreciated as we in the store leadership teams work to make our teams feel valued.

Pros
The company is very flexible when it comes to work life balance.
Cons
There was very little natural lighting in the buildings. The finance departments were separated in two separate buildings making it hard to easily communicate.
