Frustrated by Inadequate Workshop Demonstrations - Associate Workshop Manager Build-A-Bear Employee Review

I was frustrated by the inadequate workshop demonstrations. They were cheap, repetitive, and failed to engage or inspire customers. My manager was uninterested in providing any additional training or resources to improve the demonstrations. He would just tell us to wing it and make it fun. I tried my best to come up with creative and engaging demonstrations, but I was limited by the cheap materials and supplies that were provided. I also had to deal with constant interruptions from my manager, who would often insult our creativity and tell us that our ideas were "too complicated". As, a result, the workshop demonstrations were often boring and uninspired. Customers would often leave the store feeling disappointed and let down. I was ashamed of the experience that we were providing to our customers, and I felt like I was doing a disservice to the company.
