Ralph Lauren Employee Reviews about "employee discount"

Pros

Commission structure and employee discounts

Cons

Stress long hours and having to deal with clients even on your off days

Pros

I have created lifelong friendships with many people I worked with

Cons

The store I managed was broken into several times, to this day they are constantly on the news for shoplifting. Shoplifters keyed my car for following them around the store, cussed me out and threatened me. I was doing my job in providing assistance however they feel that acting violent towards the workers will get the workers away from them so they can steal. They need to be able to prosecute shoplifters. Better pay and employee discounts would be great as well!

Pros

Discount on clothing for employees and reasonable hours that worked with my school schedule.

Cons

Retail is a hard industry to be in with very little rewards for hard work.

Pros

Supporting staff and good people to work with

Cons

little benefits and few discounts for the employees

Pros

Great discount for employees and family

Cons

Skeleton staff making task completion difficult

Pros

There is a great work-life balance in the company. The hours are generally 9-6 and you won't stay all night. The company as a whole has a lot of great benefits from employee discounts to restaurant perks. It's comforting to know that it is also a stable company. There are really some wonderful people working for the company, too. If you like a very corporate atmosphere then this is your place.

Cons

The yearly employee reviews are ridiculous. The raise (even for a great review) does not cover the increased cost of living from year to year. Throughout a department a few specific people will consistently be promoted while rest of the department will not. It would be one thing if this was solely based on merit, but it has a lot more to do with whether the highest level person in your division cares about your specific job. If you have someone watching out for you then you can really advance. If you don't...then it's never going to happen. The meetings are excessively long, too. 10-6 for one meeting is not uncommon.

Pros

There is a nice feeling of job security and a decent employee discount. The people that work there are generally nice but it doesn't offset the office politics.

Cons

Compensation is poor when compared to similar companies in the field. Lots of turnover of the staff and management which leads to a low moral on the floor and departments disorganized.

Pros

Employee discount was good and pretty much everything applied

Cons

Managers were all over the place and wouldnt really respect days off

Pros

Great Employee Discount and Benefits

Cons

Poor Salary and management of employees

Pros

Loved the employee discount and the majority of people who work there!

Cons

Lots of spend in ridiculous areas - very antiquated IT systems that caused a loss of productivity. Very little on-going maintenance support for a bunch of their stuff
