Pros

I loved my managers and coworkers. Everyone was really nice and it was really easy to get along with everyone. I worked over seasonal, so it's a bit overwhelming with the amount of people they hire. The managers gave good feedback, as to what you need to work on and what you did good. I always love getting my Gratis from work and they reward you for working on Christmas eve!

Cons

Closing the store was a pain. The store was never closed in time, at least on the nights I had to close. It was basically one associate (me) straightening and restocking all the walls, along with the display tables. The manager is busy dealing with closing registers and other stuff. There's usually one other person, but they were working in the back with shipment. With the BBW store size I worked in, it was literally impossible to close within an hour. I always extended my shift until I couldn't. Another annoying thing was call in shifts. I had tons of them during a period time and I never can make plans! They never call me in when I have nothing to do but always do when I want to go somewhere else. The amount of call in shifts given is ridiculous.

Pros

Great discounts, fun place to work. Very flexible hours. This is a great part time job for the holidays. If you are looking for consistent part time hours, this is not for you.

Cons

The hours are not consistent. To get hours you must be willing to work nights and weekends. This is also a standing only job.

Pros

Cons

-poorly managed -horrifically disorganized -gross nepotism -very clique-ish management team (if they don't like you then you're not getting hours) -push for hard sales
