Build-A-Bear Workshop Leadership Employee Reviews
What do you like best about the leadership team?
My direct manager is the best manager I've ever worked with. He feels more like a close friend than a boss
Wonderful team to work with
They are very professional and easy going
The communication to bear builders
They really care about the company and the people.
Very positive, and realistic most of the time
We work together and help each other.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Getting in touch with consumers and inviting honest communication instead of rewarding people for buying into the kool-aid to enter the bubble. The movie was one of the dumbest ideas of all time. The price hikes in a recession is out of touch. The old school micro managing is backwards.
Treating us like human beings. Maybe try threatening us less and being a kind. They could also get better at hiring people that actually do work.
Communicating with one another, handling disagreements within the store
Taking accountability for their actions and holding proper HR investigations
Trsining and putting what matters most first
My specific leadership team in my store is great excluding the actual manager. I think more check-ins at specific stores would make things run smoother.
Communication, planning, equality, culture, compensation for the field.
Scheduling when it comes to team members who have more than one job.
Not being lazy at work
Paying better. Not verbally abusing and embarrasing its team members.
Getting out of the back and doing their job- stop making the sales leads & bear builders do what they're supposed to. When it's busy, don't stand around and watch- it looks awful when customers are waiting for help and management expects bear builders & sales leads to do everything.

Review from Sales Dept
Not sweeping issues under the rug! This is a horrible company to work for in my honest opinion.
Review from Sales Dept
Everything. We are understaffed, overworked and underpaid. It's hard to smile at customers.
