Pros

Extra cash On a good day can be enjoyable. Most customers are very pleasant and fun to help.

Cons

There's really more bad than good here. Few hours,minimum wage , you're not appreciated, one person tells you to do something, then you're done and you're told it didn't matter since it was going to be removed from the wall anyway...that's the usual. Management pays attention to detail when it comes to things that don't matter so much, yet ignore or don't even realize some things that are way more visible and less attractive to customers than the things they are having us fix. It feels like you're doing a lot more work than what you are paid to do. It seems you are punished for being fast and efficient because they just give you more to do once your done with one task. It has also been made difficult for me to transfer to a place more convenient for me. A difference of 40 minutes of drive time with traffic and 15 minutes without. Positions are available, so I don't know what the hold up is. I am told that I am a great employee and good at sales, but the only compensation I get is being the greeter in zone 1 and standing around like a fool. I don't think I am above any of this, I would just like to feel that I am getting paid adequately for my time and especially for the energy that I put into sales versus other associates. It's hard to care when you don't feel it matters.

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

Its a very fun and interesting place to work. There is room for advancement as long as you have or willing to improve your customer service and communication skills. The people are very willing to help each other as well as customers. There is an overall sense of pride from all employess. Respect is given to all regardless of age or position.

Cons

The main concern I had was the pay was not enough and that some benefits are only offered to management. Regular employees really don't receive perks or benefits
