Pros

Company has a great fitness center for employees to use free of charge. Employees also get a discount on product.

Cons

Management is very biased ,plays favorites in the workplace. The actions of both management & workers are both very unprofessional. The company suffers a serious morale problem due to weak and apathetic leadership not held accountable for doing their job correctly. Company has so blurred the line between full-time & part-time employees that there is less and less benefit to being full-time. Company has and continues to find ways to take more benefits from employees. Overall Management will not listen to you, give you support when you need it, or give you any kind of recognition for what you do for the company. Working for Lands' end has become a very stressful place to work due to the demands put on people, not having good communication , or clear understanding of what is expected of you. It seems the way things are done and policies regarding employees change hourly this only adds to employee mistakes, frustration and bad attitudes. Management focuses wholly on employees mistakes and never on recognizing employee accomplishments.

Good people. Definitely a hierarchy

Pros

Kind people. Casual work environment. Small town feel for a relatively big brand. The people really care and try, but the culture has really suffered since Gary Comer sold the company. Plus is that LE allowed me to gain experience at a large brand and then move on to a better brand.

Cons

Definite hierarchy of worker-bee class and those who "escaped" --meaning supervisory management (this was actually said to me by one such "escapee") Was held back from moving to other positions which better matched my skills because of politics and "business need". Lots of stress and pressure for people trying to cya...Nice people, just often put into bad situations where they have to be a bit cut throat. Very passive, though. They won't do so to your face usually, mostly behind your back. Moral is low (but most will only be honest about this behind closed doors or after they have left). Creates a constant talent drain. People come to Dodgeville for a few years or for life. Those are the 2 extremes. It can be a great place to expand your resume and then move on or to settle in for the long haul.
