Build-A-Bear Workshop Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

My immediate team. Anything above that level is micromanaged to death. And beware if you're a man. This company is a girl's club and they're proud of it.

The good employees that show up and get things done

Even in the occasional pressure situation, we are encouraged to remember that we make teddy bears/make people smile.

Having fun at work is normal

Working with children and stuffed animals can be delightful

I get along great with most people, although some are less reluctant to make work friends. The children and adults who come in make the job worth it.

When the children are happy and show appreciation

Review from Sales Dept

Happy place to be, we all love it there

Review from Sales Dept

The bear builders, AWM and sales leads are always taking care of one another, be it picking up a drink while on lunch for someone else, or just leaving AttaBears!

Review from Sales Dept

It is customer and employee-centric, although this philosophy has taken a hit due to high turnover.

Seeing the children and their smiling faces

Review from Sales Dept

Working with children on a daily basis and making them smile.

Review from Sales Dept

Seeing the kids smiles at their creations

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone's generally pleasant around eachother. Like I said, we're all friends

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Everything. We can get paid better and also treated like human beings. Maybe have my opinions and concerns taken seriously versus looking at your apple watch every minute i am speaking.

Give back some success to the people who earn it.

They NEED to pay better. I am paid horribly. I only stay for how much i love kids, my managers are verbally abusive and manipulative. My Assistant Manager degrades all her workers, then cries because she does not feel that we respect her.

New managment and well paid staff go a long way.

Follow our company philosophy and try and make the employees as happy as we try and make customers.
