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.

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.
