Lacoste Employer Reviews

It is a high end retail company. Stores are small but visually sound. Must be able to provide amazing customer service there

This is a great place to work as a sales associate, but nothing more. Once I was part of management it opened my eyes to issues and opportunities else where.

My day startes the day before. I have everything plained out so when it it is time to start I am ready and on point.

In charge of managing inventory, running the cash register and delivering prompt, energetic customer service both in person and over the phone. Responsible for learning and staying updated on all product information. Also responsible for scheduling and coordinating appointments for the store manager.

Clippings, choosing samples for photo shoot with different top magazines, tracking editorial credits, and following up celebrities Lacoste profiles are some of my daily tasks. I have learned the use of fashion gps as a fashion program. I have built relationships with different stylists and editors of different magazines. I have built an excellent working – more... and personal relationship with my co-workers, specially my boss, she is very intelligent, pro active, creative, talented person that make everyone to admire and follow her. The hardest part of this experience is to not only develop a relationship with editors and stylists but also to maintain it. But the most enjoyable is to see the results of building those relationships when you find a credit in those top magazines. – less

Started two years ago things were great but in the last year or so company downsizing. They have cut payroll every other week I feel awful for the associates but yet the company still has money to throw parties in other states and have contest's to win free clothing. What does that say for the people who work there? No money to pay you but money to – more... waste on pool parties? – less

Sales team structure was oriented more towards the individual and not the team

A well respected company whose values are not high at all. No communication involved for store visits, changes in plans, etc. Small room for advancement and very bad relationships amongst wholesale accounts.

For the past 3+ years that I have worked for Lacoste, I have only had positive experiences with this company. I have learned so much from my managers and though my DM is thousands of miles away she is always available to assist us. Each day that I go in I feel privileged to work for a prestigious and timeless brand. Our team works so well together and – more... that is due to a management team with great inter personal skills and professionalism, They're are some challenges with working in a high volume and fast paced environment but our managers and corporate office ensure that they will assist us with any opportunities our location experiences. – less

very busy but ver fun to work at getting to see so many different people and cultures was a great experience i would mind working there

As a member of the management team at Lacoste, I enjoy coming to work every shift. I am rarely ever stressed at work and the co-workers are great. The team is very passionate about the product being sold, which helps a lot in customer service.

At lacoste, as a manager, I would either open or close the store each day. I had to account for each days deposit, when coming or leaving I had to account for all other employees and either turn on or off the alarm. I was in charge of delegating tasks to other associates to make such that the store was clean and product was properly placed. I also oversaw – more... the cash registers and sometimes went to the bank to make change or a deposit. I learned about the management of a large retail store with high volume. The hardest part of the job was spotting fake product that some people would try to return. The most enjoyable part was the people I worked with. – less

Unprofessional workplace. Lots of catty unethical nonsense and racism throughout the mgmt. division. Would not recommend this work environment to anyone.

I enjoy working at Lacoste, but at this point in my life and my career, I'm looking for a company I can grow with. I want a career with longevity, and unfortunately I don't see that potential with Lacoste.

Typical work day:- Cleaing up store
-Checking Stock
-Folding Clothes
-Checking out customers

A fast pace retail store, representing a famous brand, selling thousands of euros daily. I learned about clothing, working with professional displays, the brand history. The co-workers were very helpful since the beginning and we were a good working team. The hardest part of the job was the every new season change, when we had to replace the earlier – more... collecion by the new one, tag the prices and liquidate the first collection in a short time. At the same time it was quite enjoyable, because at the end of the day we could see the effort was worth it. – less

The focus is on sales. The benefits are good. Hardest part of the job is clienteling and bringing customers back into the store.
