Pros

Health Insurance, fulltime employees but good with BCBS 50% off employee discounts After 90 days get a free Dutch oven pot of your color Get 1% commission off sales once a month Great products and always something new to sell The company allows employees to cook in store to showcase the cast iron pots and can make some yummy meals

Cons

Employee discounts are off the full price not the customer price, the pay isn't enough to make great purchase so you must work a couple of years to buy a good amount of cast iron products Commissions are low Must be strong to lift the heavy cast iron pots even when on a ladder Career advancement is impossible if your not in the position you applied form they make it impossible to change position or give too many excuses why they can not change

Pros

Employee Discount, Positive Culture, Legacy Community and shopper, partnership amongst store leaders, 100% health insurance covered for Store Managers and benefits otherwise are incredibly affordable and good quality. Le Creuset's benefits package is very good, although they are the first to admit their base salaries are not as strong as other retailers. But you'll be hard pressed to find another retailer who gives you 3 weeks of pto, plus sick time, floating holidays, and more upon hiring or entering your role from the jump. It is the best compensation package in regards to insurance and PTO I have ever had.

Cons

Small store teams, which can make scheduling challenging and not be condusive to the best customer service. However, after two decades in retails this is hardly unusual or unmanageable. Biggest opportunity is career advancement...for an international company, domestic opportunities to move up are few and far between. But this comes down to corporate structure and how retailers create their lines of support. Advancement can be tough if you can't or don't want to play the waiting game. With that being said, being able to relocate or move is a huge plus in opportunities.

Good discounts, merchandise is top quality.

Cons

Micromanagement from corporate, lines of communication don't follow through. I watched them struggle to find employees constantly.
