Pros

Employee discount (50% off RL and CM)

Cons

Does not reimburse for tuition Little room for promotion if you’re not in line with top managers Departments are a mess and run counterproductively to each other; little collaboration among brands High-stress; disrespectful and hostile work environment You will easily become the victim of bias and abuse if your boss decides he/she does not like (without basis) Extreme cases of workplace bullying P&D Department favors the employer’s side of any issue

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
