Ralph Lauren Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Great benefit package, a good overall vibe and relationship with other employees, upper management easy to reach and the company has actual values. Work life balance is fostered and encouraged.

Cons

Do not expect growth. You may take additional responsibilities, but promotions are very rare and always upon departure of someone else, so if you're looking to grow as a professional this is not the place to be. The pay rises are just as rare and somehow always below inflation rate.

Pros

Bosses vacation a lot, which means you have autonomy. Opportunity to travel with company for store openings. Very accomodating and they actually value a work/life balance. SUMMER FRIDAYS. Stressful work load, but everyone is great at what they do and good quality people.

Cons

Takes FOREVER to get promoted. They value employees who start with them, exit to other companies and expand skill set, and then come back.

Pros

Cool coworkers and good discount

Cons

Ever since the new West Coast manager took over for the Polo Factory Stores, associates are being overworked and underpaid. Individual sales goals with no commission pay, force to build customer connections that feels inauthentic, and emphasis on making individual numbers when we work in a TEAM environment at an outlet. HR is horrible and does nothing to alleviate any issues, ignores feedback and concerns although they claim to listen. Don't work here, you will have to work like you work at a full retail store for minimum wage. No work/life balance and it's a joke.

Pros

-Great name to have on your resume -Good work life balance (especially compared to the rest of the fashion industry) -Autonomy -Good vacation

Cons

-So much red tape, makes it impossible to get anything done -Lack of innovation -Minimal growth potential -Lack of company direction

Pros

Great people, a lot of changes and challenging environment dealing with many projects at the same time

Cons

Exhausting. Management pushes you until you crack. No personal and work life balance at all. It’s about living to work and not working to live

Pros

The biggest pro for working at RL are the unbending core values and family oriented culture which make this a very warm, welcoming place to work. It is a very large company with many opportunities for growth and development. Direct contact with higher ups. Fast paced environment. Great work life balance as a corporate employee (for me at least - and most other teams I've come in contact with).

Cons

Decision making can be slow, and at times, not made at the lowest level which can compromise efficiency and demotivate staff level employees. Certain areas of the company can feel somewhat siloed off.

Pros

Great bosses, benefits and pay. Manager stand for work life balance which is awesome!

Cons

Easily to get complacent if you lack of self-improvement skill

Pros

Great team, feel so proud to work there. Respect for work life balance as well as keeping staff safe through covid and also address where they can improve as a business. Continually examining how they operate and how they can help socially.

Cons

Career progression can sometimes be hard to navigate.

Pros

Lots of perks from discounts on clothes and a good work life balance.

Cons

Upper management. To many changes with corporate within the last two years alone.

Pros

Great discount and I enjoyed wearing the clothes.

Cons

Terrible work life balance and under paid for the amount of time you are expected to work as a salaried employee.
