Pros

- Great colleagues (not a merit of LEGO per se) - Good benefits, but also benefits are very skewed to favor Danish employees more than other countries, which is fine but just needs clarification - Managers/directors clearly, directly and blatantly meddling in the internal mobility process, favoring certain candidates over others, not based on skill and merits.

Cons

- Very stressful, depending on which side of the coin you are. Most people seem to have a great time, but also, don't really work on important projects or really, anything that returns value to the company. - Mediocrity is encouraged, don't stir the pot too much. Ambitious people get quickly shutdown by incompentent management. - Incompetent managers who use classic techniques such as gaslighting to keep people in their lane and complacent. Make you feel bad for wanting more, things like 'we have very high standards' - when history clearly disproves their point. Also... it's just a TOY COMPANY, it's not NASA.

Pros

Store manager is the best manager in any industry I have worked with in over 30 years of employment. LEGO Group takes very good care of their employees with perks, raises, discounts etc. Again a great company with a great manager; this job is awesome!

Cons

Product is so in demand it’s hard to keep hot products in stock disappointing guests.

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
