Sur La Table Employer Reviews

I worked all over the store in Baton Rouge. Behind the scenes and in front, selling to customers. There are somethings that need to change. Example : I don't know attitude! More training in product would be helpful. I like overall most of the people that worked there. Management needs a refresher course on dealing with employees.
What I learned is I – more...  like to sale. Which is hard to believe. Overall is a good place to work if you are starting out in retail. – less

The most enjoyable part of the job was helping the customer with cooking needs. As a manager, I received little or no positive support or encouragement from the corporate level. It was all about selling expensive espresso makers that were stacked in the stock room. The most difficult part of the job was turning out knowledgeable associates when little – more...  or no time was allowed for training on the huge assortment of product. It was a job that turned out to be all about corporate's needs with little regard or respect for those laboring in the field – less

The hours are nice, early morning is my preference. Co-workers were very friendly and the management was always very helpful. Hardest part of the job was learning about the merchandise. Most enjoyable part of the job was getting to work independently and assisting customers on the sales floor.

The people there have great attitudes and are a lot of fun. Decisions from management tend to be somewhat last-minute and not always predictable. All in all a growing company that is good to work for.

Limited room for advancement. Your hours would be cut if store was not productive. The work hours were based mostly on the main saleslady. I worked in the stockroom and had little control over sales.

Headquarters in Georgetown, rapidly growing company, very chaotic atmosphere

I have found the managers friendly and eager to teach new skills. Although I haven't had a great deal of hours per week, it is a fun place to work and employees get great discounts on merchandise. The company focuses on education of employees to meet company goals and has clear expectations.

If I could have worked at Sur La Table full-time I would have. It is probably one of the most fun places to work. There is always something new to learn (if you are interested in actually working/learning). There is ample opportunity of advancement within the company.

I love the store to shop, but never again to work. Management is rude and distant. I witnessed first hand the manager putting employees down in front of customers. There was no training, it's a learn as you go environment. It's an every man for themselves type of work environment.

Employees are not paid on commition, but management is always coming – more...  down on employees to make more sales and reprimanded for not selling enough during a shift. – less

The customer service expectations are second to none. The broad assortment of product set this company apart from its competitors.

With its fast growth, this is a great company in which to develop and grow.

Get to interact with a large variety of good people across the world and assist them with any issues that may come up.

Horrible corporate management, little employee support
