Pros

Discounts on full priced items.

Cons

-Absolutely NO work/life balance. This company expects you to slave for very low pay considering how much of your time is asked and how overworked you are especially during holiday season. -Management acts like you are in the military. It's one thing to be strict and hold your employees at high expectations but they have a very "holier than thou" mentality and treat workers beneath them. -Hours are horrid, yet complaining about being understaffed at high volume stores. -Barely any training at all and if you are hired for holiday season? Good luck. You'll get eaten alive but customers and managers who will yell at you for not knowing things THEY did not properly teach you. -Working Semi-Annual in June and than right after holiday season in January will be one of the worst experiences of your working life.

Pros

BBW has great training programs and great organization.

Cons

Downside is that full time management is expected to fill in gaps of coverage bc they are salaried. Not super different from most retailers but makes it hard to have work life balance, or small children.
