Bed Bath & Beyond Reviews

Pros

Great place good Schedule the people

Cons

Long hours and only a 30 minute lunch

Pros

I like all my colleagues, I have become quite popular in my store and many of the people I speak to at work, have also gone on to be my friend outside of work. It definitely pays to be sociable whilst at work, especially if you're on the floor most of the time like I am. Makes it so much easier and less stressful talking to customers. Being able to walk fast is a plus, and multitasking is very important in my opinion. You have to learn how to be able to pack out whilst listening to and responding to customers questions or concerns. Same goes for the till when you start to do more than one thing at a time, it goes so much faster.

Cons

I don't like being obligated to do email captures, Most people don't feel comfortable giving out their personal information and it pains me to think about being penalised every time a customer cancels at the pin pad. Having to clean the till counter with harsh chemicals during my entire shift is a bit annoying. I am fine with cleaning the counter but doing it after every customer is just hurting my lungs.

Pros

Honestly, this is a really good job if you are either looking for more experience in retail or if you are just getting into retail. Coworkers are extremely friendly, managers are really good as well, as well as the store manager. Managers are very flexible with schedules, especially if you are a student in college. Customers are usually really cool as well. This store is in a favorable location, so that helps bring people in. Pretty lax dress code as well (jeans, polo, sneakers).

Cons

- It's a huge store, lots of walking - E-mail capturing: Really I have no problem with it, but I don't want to be obligated to do something that not everybody wants to do - Recent dress code changes- Aprons are mostly uncomfortable, earpiece is uncomfortable - Very busy at times: can be described as chaos sometimes

Pros

They respect work/life balance, and many people in management are great. They allow reasonable travel expenses which helps if you're based outside of HQ. Very good benefits like insurance for the family. Good third-party corporate discounts like with Enterprise Rent-a-car, etc. 20% store and online discount on EVERYTHING even the 1/3 of the store that is excluded from normal discounts; and a couple times a year you get a special discount period that lets you get 25-30%. Note these discounts apply to all BBBY owned concepts including Baby and World Market. I would say also that it's a stable job but soon after I left, a large layoff happened so... ymmv.

Cons

You are going to be working with a mixture of technologies that includes some quite old stuff. IT and cloud infrastructure is super confusing. Management shakeups can happen and rearrange priorities. A lot of software development is outsourced to India now, which can be a good or bad thing. Good if you excel at managing a remote team and if you want to be remote. Less good if you want to have your team all in person in the US time zone(s).

Pros

Freedom to run business as if was your own Good leaders at the start Growth opportunity

Cons

Lost focus of business Forgot about the customer Promoted employees who shouldn't have been to key leadership roles

Pros

Nice office/environment, great fun product to work with, discount

Cons

People weren't always nice, moral needed a boost

Pros

Flexible schedule, good people, fast paced

Cons

Understaffed, inconsistent management, lack of morale building and incentives
