Pros
Work-life balance is better here than anywhere else I've seen. Very family-friendly company with generous paid time off policy. The pay was competitive when compared to other internships within the apparel retail industry. Friendly co-workers. The comer center is a great place to exercise during your lunch break. A lot of changes happening with the new president Nick Coe and changes = opportunities if you are intelligent and passionate about your work. If you are a mediocre worker, all of the changes that have taken place and that will take place might make you worry about your job security. The internship program is well structured and company leaders take interns' ideas seriously.
Cons
If you are a single person, Dodgeville's remote location may be a challenge. The company overall is great but I saw some associates stuck underneath bad managers. Try to get hired under a good manager if you can help it. Either way, you make your own success at Lands' End. There is not a structured leadership development program or career path to follow so be sure to get to know leaders in various parts of the company and work hard so you can make your own opportunities.
