Lane Bryant Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Lane Bryant is a company that has highly skilled people that strive to achieve the best for the company."

"I've worked for LB for two years. I started as a Full time lead and then due to another opportunity I dropped down to PT. I loved working there but now I am constantly bothered by the store manager on days that I work at my FT job, (and she knows this) to come in. When I tell her that I can't she doesn't put me on the schedule to work. It really sucks because I love the people who I work with but the manager is a real nightmare."

"I thought this company had many good aspects and many bad aspects. The people I worked with were very nice and taking time off was no problem. The hours were not appealing sometimes when we had to do floor sets until 3 am in the morning.There were some managerial problems but it usually did not affect the Sales Associates. Overall, I worked very hard for this company."

What don't you like about working at Lane Bryant?

"I HATE the forced 45 hour work week! It's completely unnecessary. 42 hours a week should be sufficient enough to get done what we need to get done. Also, they never seem to send us enough product. We often sell through item quickly and never receive replenishment. Plus, the customers are insanely needy. I've never worked somewhere before where customers expect you to hold their hands for them the way that LB shoppers do...I just don't get it ( I realize that has nothing to do with the company itself). The pay SUCKS! Even as a manager I had to work a 2nd job for awhile. And, I hate having to shove that damn credit card down everyone's throat"

Have better training programs in place, all associates should receive the same training, not just certain SMs. ."
