Build a bear ? More like nightbear - Bear Associate Build-A-Bear Employee Review

- They Take tax from under 18's (beware of that) - calling every customer guest - They call on-call you which means they can call you in on days off -Doing FIB at the very front of the store - which is basically dragging a bear around on wheels OUTSIDE THE STORE trying to persuade people to come in and buy stuff - person who is good at this will be doing it every shift ! - Management expect new employees to know everything right away - Training process is horrible !! Not enough training is done with you to make you feel secure in what you're doing - Management blame everything on you even if you miss or forget something even if it's accidental - Management expect you to do 2 things widespread across the store at once for example greeting EVERY guest at the front, making sure not to miss any that walk in while running to the back of the store to refill the stuffing machine and still maintain greeting at the front . - Pre recorded script you have to say to each customer they quiz you on who came in for what - Only work at build a bear if you want to be treated like a personal clown ! Or don't take yourself seriously
