Vantaggi
Fun place to work- most days You get to build relationships with the customers and your staff Get to have fun with people (kids and adults) by helping them build something You get to play with Lego sometimes, and build sets for displays. Great benefits if you are full time- really great medical coverage You get a nice bonus once a year based on sales and other figures I really loved my job at Lego, it was not the job that made me leave but the management.
Svantaggi
The reason why I left Lego was that there is no opportunity for advancement. I really did love my job but I felt it was time to move on so I can better myself. I worked there for 5 years, I started as a full time supervisor and remained that for my time there. Despite being told that I could become an assistant many times, it never happened, unfilled promises. My store manager got fired and then the assistant was running the store, well long story short, she got fired too. Then I was running the store perfectly fine and they sent other managers to come in and run the store, and really just made everyone unhappy. My district manager at the time told me "here is your chance to shine, and we will make you assistant". Well I feel like running a store smoothly is "shinning" but apparently not enough for him. Then I got a new manager and a new assistant manager- who I had to help train, even know they had training. They still needed more training by the time they got to my store. I sucked it up and went on with life and continued working there even know they didn't value or appreciate me. Finally I had enough and had to go.
