The work itself is far from difficult, but the culture and the manner in which people are treated are the worst I've experienced in my entire work history! 
There are a good group of hard working individuals there that are unfortunately not trusted to do their job without micro management being part of the equation. Leadership thrives on and runs the operation with fear being the primary component, people are not treated well there at all! 

Leadership is stuck in the past with a "that's how we've always done it" philosophy, afraid of change, eliminating the possibility for improvements to occur.
  
The environment can get extremely hot during the summer months, there's nothing that can be done about that, but the spirits of the employees can easily be lifted with positive treatment and appreciation, something that the leadership seems highly incapable of providing.

After my first couple of days there, it was clear that the environment was void of positivity, a very dark and impersonal place to spend most of your time in, resulting a high rate of employee turnover. The management team should look themselves in the mirror and ask "what can I do to make this a place where people want to stay" yet they fail to take ownership that responsibility. 
I don't write negative comments, but in this case it is absolutely necessary, as I hope someone in a capable position reads this and takes steps to make some improvements/changes.

I have learned that looks and reputation can be disceiving. 
Everyone told me Lamens was a great place to work. I believed them, my mistake!
I experienced very poor training, set up for failure instead of for success. and seeing how they fired a person  after they were employed there  for over 20 years.  Was a big red flag. So there was no feeling of commitment to the success of the employee.   One important point to make - for the first 90 days of employment, you DO NOT get paid any holiday pay. They will not disclose this information to you.  Also, its not an enjoyable environment to work in.  Most are not happy there, because the quota that is never transparent needs to be met.  Why is not made clear? (good question)   Because its different for everyone.  There is no equal treatment  or equal expectations.  I even know of a person who was not paid for jury duty, that lasted a week. I felt like a workhorse, never able to enjoy my job, never felt valued  and was being micro managed.  Talk about anxiety!  I was afraid to speak to anyone. If I only knew what I know now... I enjoy accounting and team collaboration, and have been in the field for many years,  but this company does nothing to support the employee 

A typical day at work would have been to work as hard as possible because you want to advance but you will get bullied by your coworkers because they don't have the same values or goals and ultimately you will not advance.

What I learned at Lemans is that Lemans is a microcosm of Ism's. Nepotism, croneyism, and favoritism.

Management at Lemans is absolutely terrible. They do not protect their effective workers from problem workers or address issues that are brought to their attention. In some cases, they exacerbate the problem further with inept decisions and, yet again, favoritism.

Workplace culture is exactly this. You are not important. You are replaceable. You don't deserve more than Lemans deems you deserve. Hard work means nothing unless it's EXACTLY the hard work that they want right now and you don't deserve to know what's happening at any given time because communication does not exist unless you're a supervisor or above.

The hardest part of the job was watching lazy or unintelligent "coworkers" get treated better than truly tenacious hard workers.

There was no enjoyable part of this job.

I moved closer to work at this warehouse. People were nice and my immediate boss was fantastic. The two guys above him were not. I started working here a few weeks ago and the job was hard. Moving pallets of cargo around and making sure everyone had pallets to break down and receive amoungst other activities I needed to make sure where done between them so everything ran smoothly. I thought to myself I was the hardest worker they had in the warehouse. I was physically drained every single day but it didn’t mind me because I was getting a great workout. Today they pulled me aside and told me “they were going in a different direction” meaning I was no longer needed. So technically I was fired. I asked for a further explanation and I was only answered with a repeat original answer. I’m not sure what happened. I really thought I was doing great work for this company and then I was canned. Just be wary of that when applying here. Hours were good and pay was decent but apparently the job security is horrible. I’ve never worked at a place that fires you without any warning or sit down. Anyway sad day for me. Good luck to you and them I guess.

Clean environment.  Nice facility to work in.  Given all information and training to do the job.  Training takes a while to get on the phone because there is a lot to learn.  Dealers calling in expect extremely fast, accurate and exceptional customer service.  Fun speaking to the dealers from all over the country.  Very fast pace.  Time goes quickly as the phones are extremely busy.  Can be a little stressful at times as the phones get extremely busy at certain times.  Lots of additional papework to do along with answering the phones.   Dress code has been recently updated and is a lot more relaxed than in the past. You are expected to show up for work every day and on time.  You are expected to follow the rules.  You are expected to know the job.  You are expected to be accurate.  Great place to work if you want to work in a nice office environment for a company who wants to provide exceptional customer service to the dealers.

This place is a very easy job to learn and do. That being said, they have absolutely horrible leadership. Was brought on and told I'd be in a probationary position the first 90 days. No problem, just be on time and do your job while being extra polite. Not exactly, they hire multiple people then once they hit a dead week in business, they will let go of all probationary positions stating corporate said we didn't meet the standards. Literally had hr saying that there were no negative remarks and my numbers were great. Do not work here, they have intermediate management who are all individuals who have worked five plus years at said company, and who's jobs are to literally write down and rat out people so they can terminate. I've never been fired before on my 15 years of work, and to be fired with a blank sheet stating absolutely nothing is just an insult to all hard working people.

The company works with cheap/unreliable equipment with no interest in fixing/upgrading it. The higher up management doesn't care about how each department functions, they just want them to function. The motto for this place might as well be (Welcome to LeMans! Where good enough is good enough!). The lack of moral boosts has the work ethic amongst our co-workers feeling like: (Eh whatever. It's not my job. I don't care.) 
Managers in charge of hiring new people aren't doing it well. But, when they do eventually hire someone it's rare for that person to stay for more than 90 days.
The idea that the company doesn't value its workers is common knowledge. The company has given out raises to all of its employees in the past but, only to silently raise the starting wage up to higher than what current workers make a few weeks later. This is a trick that they have pulled many times, and they will continue to do so. I could say a lot more but I need to go to bed. Consider yourself warned!

Upper management in Wisconsin has 2 bad apples.  Once they get rid of those apples, the company will be back to what it once was.  I feel like more of a clothes salesman more than a powersports parts and accessories salesman.  I could sell $5 million worth of tires for a 75% increase in sales from last year, and sell $75k worth of useless apparel with a 5% increase from last year and still get chewed out over not selling enough clothes.  The mandatory samples they send out are great except for the $12000 worth of clothes I get (and have to pay for).  One other thing that needs to be rethought is how often they make us visit dealers.  4 dealers a day, 20 a week (company minimum) is not enough time to build relationships with dealers.  Give me an office day and let me spend quality time with my accounts without being in a rush would 100% increase my sales.

I worked for the company for more than 8 years. there is little to no advancement opportunity in the Customer Service sales area. 
Personally I felt under-appreciated and my Manager seemed  overworked and not able to make any decision unless they checked with their manager.  Suggestions seemed to go in one ear and out the other. They didn't seem to be able to delegate or empower the employees to make their own judgements based on experience.

The workplace culture was very impersonal, no one was encouraged to show initiative, or to go above and beyond ... you weren't given any reason to there was no incentive or appreciation shown. The workspace cubes were beige and people were discouraged from adding personal touches.

Overall an ok place to work. But don't expect any career advancement.

Started as a contractor which was fine because everyone was welcoming. Upon hire, however, the company continually mistreats you and does not do anything to change it. There is always something "wrong" each day you go to work. Consistent hours which can be a benefit, if you were treated fairly. Stuck in the pre-internet era with accounting and other procedures, which makes daily tasks more difficult. Management acts as if they want to upgrade operations and interdepartmental communication but is extremely resistent when brought up. Also, empty promises of increased pay and advancement are made but never followed through. This company will be struggling more than it is now if it remains the same.
