As a result, the company is giving cash bonuses to employees and offering free shipping to customers between Friday and Dec. 21, said Chris McCormick, company president and CEO.

L.L. Bean said employees hired before Feb. 26 would receive bonuses of $165, and those hired after that date would receive a prorated amount. Bonuses will total about $1 million.

L.L. Bean is a privately held company with annual revenues of about $1.5 billion.
