L.L. Bean Reviews

Pros

Flexible Fun Discount Employee Store Have done this a number of years. It’s fun, and I particularly like helping Senior Citizens - who call in instead of ordering online. Get a discount on my LL Bean Christmas Shopping; and can also go to the legendary LL Bean Employee Store. (Yes, I’ve bought brand-new jeans for twenty-five cents!)

Cons

Grouches - mainly from New York & New Jersey! I joke with supervisors every year that I would take a Cut In Pay if the system would screen out callers from New York & New Jersey (95% extremely rude!)

Pros

1. Great people and Teams 2. Annual Company Performance Based Bonus 3. Unique Benefits (Employee Store, outdoor equipment rentals, company owned camps)

Cons

being a 110+year old company with many employees who have been in the company for 20 or more years means there is a strong culture embedded in history and "the way we've always done things." As a result change is difficult and slow. it has gotten better in the last 4-5 years, but still has a long way to go.

Pros

Great company, great values, great products!

Cons

Recently made company wide lay-offs.

Pros

Competitive pay, room for growth, and benefits

Cons

Old POS system, have to wear a uniform

Pros

employee discount, coworkers, commitment to the state of Maine, Steve Smith.

Cons

The new CEO's vision of the company has not penetrated throughout the entire organization. It is still a top down environment. You are to do as you are told and not question decisions. Be aware of some of the old school departments.
