Vantaggi
Sur La Table carries the absolute best in kitchen supplies. People who love to cook - both chefs and home cooks - come in and are excited about the products. Those of us who are food geeks love to talk with customers, giving advice and sharing information. There's a 40% discount, which is nice for those of us who love to cook. I could never afford some of the things I've gotten without the discount. We offer cooking classes, on which employees also get a discount, which are very fun and informative. If you love to cook, Sur La Table can be heaven.
Svantaggi
Sur La Table used to be the mecca for people who love to cook - that was our raison d'etre, as well as the company's party line. Now, because of management changes, good and bad, there are far fewer knowledgeable salespeople - it's mostly young people with "bubbly personalities." Management used to have the employees' happiness and health first and foremost - now, management doesn't care. it's all about "Did you sell something BIG today?" There are no longer sales incentives given for jobs well done - we are made to compete against each other which can destroy an attitude of teamwork.
