Lord & Taylor Employer Reviews

I enjoyed my time there, the only thing was that my mother got sick at the wrong time and I had to call out unfortunately and they fired me. Overall I loved working there.

The day starts with a sales rally, which is little more than a reading of the previous days sales figures. Stock is put out in between customer service, ringing sales and cleaning fitting rooms. I learned how to manage a price gun and work from plan-o-grams. Organizing stock rooms I learned to do on my own. Management was helpful whenever they could – more...  get to my section of the store. Most of the co-workers were distainful of the customers as well as each other. Resentments and back biting was common, just like junior high school. This perhaps was the hardest part of the job, including the fact that many co-workers lied about each other even when it made them look immature and uncultured. The most enjoyable part of the job was achieving customer service satisfation which directly led to meeting sales goals. – less

I have been with this company for over four years and I would have to say it has been a great learning experience for me. I was able to learn about the systems as well as learn about giving great customer service. That's what is really important to them, giving every customer that walks through the door the best experience they will ever have, and we – more...  provide that.

Though the job can be difficult sometimes, the people you work with gets you through the day. Everyone is so positive putting a smile on your face even when you're feeling down. They are all so great. – less

I learned alot about retail.

Unfortunately, L&T was bought by HBC and the restructuring caused me to lose my job. Many talented individuals work here and I had a great experience working alongside them.

The hardest part of my job was getting senior level support on certain projects. They didn't have time to provide their opinions really because of – more...  their busy schedules. I work well independendtly but I was literally on my own 95% of the time and those working conditions just isolate you and does not foster growth or collaboration. – less

Great company to work for, many opportunities available for advancements and promotions.

Benefits equal to comparative establishments.

Associates recognised and rewarded for commendable achievements.

Responsible for balancing AP system daily, ensured all daily reports were accurate, processed vendor invoices for payment. Maintained and provided statistics – more...  to management. Delegated work assignments to staff and monitored productivity.
The hardest part of the job was doing your individual performance appraisal and in addition writing and administering staff reviews.

Started working at a young age, willing team player, hard worker, learned functions in other areas in AP led to several promotions.

One of the most enjoyable part of my job was the satisfaction felt upon completion of a difficult project or assignment. – less

The hardest part of the job was the physicality. My coworkers and I were a tight knit group. The management had an open door policy.

Great job - Work closely with buyer in order to gain experience in all aspects of the buying field.

A lot of work in the dresses department especially at the moment during prom season. I enjoy the constant work, it makes the day go by quickly and creates a rewarding/satisfying work environment.

Lord & Taylor as a company needs to grow and market more towards a younger crowd. If done right I believe that they can rank in a new financial growth.

Cool place to work for a part-time student. Very flexible with hours.

Loved the people I worked with. Mangers were friendly and helpfull.

Work is not difficult but the irratic work hours can take a toll on you.

it was a delightful place to work, no negative energy everyone constantly working

I did not like working there, it is a low paying job. The work is typical retail work. I worked there for the sake of a weekly paycheck, nothing else.

I was working as Skin Care Specialist and sales Rep.Performing all aspect of skin care treatment

I can only talk about the dept I worked in; for the short time I was there. Management was hardly visible, but most times attainable. The particular store seemed to have lessen their values of how their employees represent the company. I found the employees not to be teamplayers, lacking moral and combative, not holding up the standard of the brand – more...  they represent. – less

easy to go to if problems arrive without fearing being repeated.good benfits;great customer service;open to comment to improve certain things.great company to work for.

I would say I did very well in the beginning, when I worked for this company. My sales goals, charge applications, work performance were very important to the reviews.

Overall I had good experience there, but often times I found that everyone wasn't working as hard as others.
