Pros

My positive experience with this company only lasted the first few months I was there. The company has great health benefits for their employees with ordinary pay. "I work for LEGO. Yes, that LEGO." Some of the people are amazing to work with, and they can teach you a lot. The discount wasn't bad, either.

Cons

On the other side, the company has many reorganizations in which they use to get rid of anyone who challenges the ideas of upper management. The focus of LEGO is to have a "family-oriented" and it's exactly that. Unfortunately, if you're not a part of that small family (or from Denmark) then it is extremely difficult to move up in the company. There were very few promotions, and they recently have taken women out of any upper management roles. The company is extremely political, and very cliquey. They do not seem to recognize the hard work of their employees. The company also did not treat their contractors working for them very well, making false promises of contract to hire and treating them as if they were dispensable. The company didn't care about employee moral or worries. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. The constant political battles, rumors spread, and walking on glass trying not to step on any toes can become draining. The worry of always watching your back, and hoping to not lose your job with all of the reorganizations were stresses I wouldn't wish on anyone. This company encourages the ability to express one's opinions, but lash back if those opinions aren't the ones they wanted to hear.

Pros

Great Coworkers and Supervisors Great benefits 50% off on discounts on sets

Cons

Overworked in the weekends and holidays there was many times where the store was understaffed and we needed more employees to work High School Mentality with some of the employee's people would have clique groups during work Going back to employees there was some employees that were very lazy and or incompetent and nothing was done about it
