Pros
Management was excellent at recognizing a job well done and at fostering teamwork. All associates took pride in their work and were able have fun while working hard. The atmosphere was fun and invigorating, and associates are provided great and helpful feedback and ample opportunity to grow and develop.
Cons
The only downside at all comes with the pay. Unlike some places, BBW does not provide any benefits to part-time staff other than seasonal contests (where prizes are seldom a bonus), and full-time positions as associates are practically nonexistent. They pretty much only hire part-time except for management. Average retail pay is fine for an associate, but CSL positions are a lot more demanding--pretty much a management position--without significant increase in pay and without any benefits. It is an excellent place to work for associates, but a bit stressful to be stuck in the middle.
