Le Creuset reviews about "manager"

Management is horrific, HR doesn’t care, pay is terrible, turn over is rediculous!

None really, I enjoy working in store

Technology (inventory controls, POS, online ordering) is outdated and unreliable. Wages are lower than average across the board, District and regional managers are almost fully remote; don’t expect store visits or support. Tight payroll and operating budgets, recycled visuals are dated and shop worn and irreplaceable. Inventory replenishment is random and shipments often have breakage and are over/short. There’s no budget for store maintenance if something breaks. No budget for meetings, trainings, store events. Managers are pressured to provide groceries at own expense to host cooking events.

The managers usually hire people without knowing their background,

Some of my coworkers are not easygoing, and some think that they deserve more because they have been longer on the job, I think new employees can be more committed with the store than some other people. I’m an easygoing person so I’ve tried hard to get along with everyone

Upper management offers little help. Pay is definitely not keeping up with COLA. Many customers are blatantly inhospitable to you.

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.

The salary is not good for the position of assistant manager. Not a lot of support from the head office.
