Pros

Most of my coworkers were amazing, fun people to work with. I love all of the products especially the candles, which makes selling to customers easy since the enthusiasm is real.

Cons

At the holidays I had requested a full week off around Christmas. Right before, they told me I was going to have to come in for Floor Set on Christmas Eve which I told them I was not going to since I had requested and approved my time off way before. After the holidays were over, they took away most of my hours because I wasn't "committed enough". This was supposed to be a part-time job for me while I was in college, but any time like this where I did not prioritize the store before anything else I was punished for it. The manager also did not notify me of this schedule change - I just came back from holidays and I did not get scheduled for weeks except for Floor Sets until I went to speak to the manager myself.

Pros

They pay pretty well

Cons

Worst place ever!! Clique place and then you get hired and work 4 days and then they never schedule you and then you try to speak with your manger about hours and she brushes you off. Manager never contacted me and just took me out of the system. So unprofessional!!!

Pros

You are in a fun and upbeat environment. You get free company goodies (gratis) every new season line they launched. Good first job to get your feet wet in sales and to become comfortable talking with people.

Cons

Depending on the management of your store, you may stay 2-3 hours after the store closed stocking and cleaning, and expected to stay later than your written schedule. There’s too much heavy lifting (like imagine how heavy your bag feels when you’re carrying 8 shower gels... yeah, well multiply that by about 5 or 6 and that’s how heavy product boxes were). Call-ins are a long running joke at B&BW. It’s where you are scheduled a “maybe we’ll need you or maybe we won’t” shift. You will have to keep your personal schedule open that whole day not guaranteed to work and call in 1-2hrs before that shift to see if they need you. It’s highly inconvenient and hopefully they’ve stopped that process since I’ve worked there. No growth past store manager. They don’t hire upper management like district managers and beyond from inside.
