Pros

Working with this company was a sheer delight most of the time. They value initiative and promote rapid growth within their teams. The quality of people at Sur La Table, no matter the location, has set the bar in my hiring practices everywhere I go. The quality of product they offer has made me a customer for life.

Cons

As with many retailers, the hours were often treacherous and with this particular company, eventually the bar is set too high. You are either able to move to the corporate level or they make it seem as though it's time for you to move on. They don't keep high-level managers in-store for more than a few years before that time comes.
