Pros

LBI does a lot of little things for its associates to make them feel valued (i.e. Associate Appreciation Week; Seasonal brand activities etc) Great discount Lots of hard-working and smart people to learn from Lots of opportunity to try new roles and to grow

Cons

The politics, at least in my area, are pretty bad. It really starts with the dept VP/leadership. It isn't like that everywhere in LBI, but VSD Marketing is rife with politics Areas and roles can be very siloed Really behind on technology. We do most everything in Excel. It can make for very time-consuming and inefficient work that is very prone to human error

Pros

Remote, work-life balance, easily post shifts and get vto if you want it

Cons

Hours fluctuate way too much, and repetitive, brainless type of calls. You're walked all over, and have to play stupid with customers because of their "assume good intent" policy, but WOW the amount of people who take advantage of this wild. You will see hundreds of dollars refunded on numerous back-to-back orders of the same person claiming they didn't get their package, or coupons and gift cards, nonstop, with customers always complaining. The complaints from customers still in store on their treatment from store managers and supervisors are shocking, I've had calls hearing those workers yellling at customers. The type of work and level of needing to play stupid is just not for me. I also didnt care for never getting a straight answer from managers, trainers, higher-ups. Everything is always beating around the bush. One time hours were cut back a lot, and they blamed the tariffs that the president imposed, which made no sense. Come to find out from a long-term employee that it was just the usual slow time. It's a weird work environment that you just can't take seriously. If you want remote work, take it for the experience on your resume, but move on.
