Pros

All the products are great. The working atmosphere in the retail store is fun, and inspiring. The customers are all very nice, easy to please, and eager to learn about all the exciting products. The staff is full of wonderful, hardworking individuals. Everyone focuses on team work to get the job done. Lastly, it is a great environment to achieve success in as far as sales goals, and customer satisfaction is concerned.

Cons

Some store locations do not have enough hours to give associate level employees. However, this is quite expected when in a lower volume store.

Pros

Great co workers Chance to get a lot of hours Lots of freebees and perks Friends were always envious of where I worked

Cons

OMG where to start. First off the management somehow is not involved and overinvolved at the same time. The constantly dissapear into the back leaving the floor to the sales associates. When they do come back they walk around criticizing performance. A lot of times i was sent to White Barn and had to work the entire store by myself even during christmas. They are constantly moving the store around so every couple of weeks we had to come in on sundays and work until about 2 in the morning moving product around the store. Also they did not train me in how to use the stockroom and would send me back for product that I couldn't find.

Pros

I have worked at BBW for 5 months now. The discounts are pretty good. 30% off products, excluding sale items. The employees working there are great, they understand where you are coming from becasue most of them are in the same position. Sometimes you get a free travel size of a scent for attending an important meeting.

Cons

I don't expect to be payed much since I am sort of new, but minimum wage and 3 hours a week just does not cut it. I recieved a single 3 hour shift per week for many weeks. I sometimes had just one 3 hour call in per week, and they never need you for call ins. This is a very independent job, you are not told about a lot of new products/sales. When I was newer and I would ask a question I would ALWAYS get an unclear answer with an attitude. You had to fight for yourself. The managers were always in the back room eating and gossiping about the other girls.
