It was enjoyable but the managers were extremely uptight about taking days off or switching days with other people. - Sales Associate Build-A-Bear Employee Review

It was very difficult to ask for any time off after the first time. The managers seemed to be very angry about the idea of it and when I had to take a day off without prior knowledge due to my girlfriend's trip to the emergency room I almost got fired on the spot. It was a singular occurrence yet I received negative feedback about my "professionalism" and "commitment" towards my work. The odds of me choosing to work there again are very low. Received no severance pay or Christmas bonus, simply was allowed to leave after my last day.
