For more than a century, L.L.Bean has specialized in high-quality apparel, accessories, outdoor equipment, home goods, and outdoorsman advice. Founded as a one-man operation by Leon Leonwood Bean in 1912, L.L. Bean is now an international organization with annual revenues of nearly $1.5 billion. The privately held, family company is headquartered in Freeport, Maine, and sells merchandise in retail locations, catalogs, online, and through B2B sales.

L.L.Bean's retail locations feature outdoor discovery adventures, which are designed to allow customers to try new activities, such as hiking, archery, biking, kayaking, clay shooting, fly casting, and canoeing. The L.L.Bean flagship store in Freeport also offers courses, guided tours, and trips. Its popular apparel includes duck boots, men's slippers, women's slippers, men's flannel shirts, women's sweaters, and winter jackets. Most of the outdoor equipment sold by the company is designed for winter sports, such as camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, cycling, and paddling, as well as fitness, games, and recreation. L.L.Bean also offers home goods, including gifts, bedding, bath, furniture, kitchen accessories, rugs and mats, dog supplies, and various decor.

Employing more than 4,500 people year-round, L.L.Bean's workforce nearly doubles during the winter holiday season, during which time the company has offered seasonal and temporary jobs. Other flexible job opportunities include part-time and remote jobs, as well as alternative and flexible schedules. L.L.Bean believes "life is better outdoors" and is committed to encouraging the personal pursuits of its staff through work-life balance initiatives. Employees cite this reason as their happiness with the company, stating, "I can go snowshoeing at lunchtime and be back in time for a 1:00 meeting. How great is that?"
