Pros

It's a fun place to work. There are a lot things to do and keep you busy. Depending on how you perform it can be a fairly independent job.

Cons

The pay is awful. You are pressured to sell as though you get commission, but you don't. The pay you a tad over minimum wage. If this company prides it's self in being a classier place to shop and work, then help support your employees and show them some respect by paying them a reasonable wage. Walmart employees have a higher average wage for the same type of work. If BBW revenue was over 2 billion in the 2006 fiscal year then why not have fewer employees and pay them a respectable and reasonable wage. Or if we are wanted to sell like we are making commission, then pay us on commission. Call ins.

Pros

Free product when a new 1 lotion comes 30% discount

Cons

Higher Managers talk about associates and not in a good way...they rate them from 1-3 with 1 being the best...they say if your a 3 you wont get any hrs thats a lie..i changed someone to a 1 n the store manager changed her hrs they claim the computer schedules u yes it is true but if the SM wanted to schedule you they could change it...they always leave associates on the floor to run there segments while they sit in the back, guess what they bonus and you dont...im leaving this company when i can i dont respect how they treat ppl here unless you really work your butt off and kiss some butt u wont move up and when u work too hard you wont move because they want you to stay there and do all the work...yes you will get hrs but only fr nov-jan after that maybe you'll have 8hrs in one week..only managers have the hrs all year..i love this company but things need to change
