Pros
When you appreciate people, they appreciate you back!
Cons
When I started 6 years ago, BBW was amazing. It wasn't until this past year where everything about this company changed. Their care for the associates sucks, they work them so hard either in overnights or during the day to make their SPAH goals and there is absolutely no appreciation. The workplace environment is terrible. Nasty emails from higher ups demanding responses on why the team pretty much sucks drains the happiness and drive to continue to do better. Not a day passed there when my district manager actually thanked me or said nice things. The training is a joke, no training hours for any type of position, which leads to lack of education on the company, its values, brand, and selling portion. HR was the worst. Did absolutely nothing to accommodate an associate expressing their concerns due to the workplace. White barn stores are not run properly and the company has yet to understand the difference between side by side stores and just regular bbw stores. Not enough payroll to staff the stores. The management just pushes everyone they don't want out of the company for no apparent reason.
