Build-A-Bear Workshop – The actual workshop vibe is amazing. Just serving and helping kids is amazing. But the corporate blunders back to back with such rapid frequency really makes the ship feel like it's poised to sink. Resting on COVID sales and putting out greedy hikes and promos do not pass the vibe check at all. | Comparably

¿Qué son algunas de las mejores cosas de tu equipo?

Fantastic attitude, smiles and desire to be actual friends, not just punch a clock. That said, that historically is rare for us.

¿Qué mejorarías en el proceso de entrevistas de tu empresa?

Remove the bureaucracy and learn some basic social skills. There's more to life than pondering how every waking moment would work as a Facebook post.

Revisión
¿Qué es lo más positivo de la cultura y el ambiente de tu empresa?

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.

Revisión
¿Qué va mal y cómo puede mejorarse?

Guests feel that the products they want are never in store. There's constant corporate mandated upselling and forcing socially shy guests into uncomfortable social scenarios. There's a lot of settling of differences through exaggeration, innuendo and passive agression and spiteful career sniping.

Revisión
¿Por qué te sientes menospreciado y que podría hacerte sentir mejor sobre tu compensación?

The issue is that lack of autonomy makes every position worth about minimum wage. It also invites hiring the lowest quality people because that's what their skills are usually worth. So being an employee who works and has a functioning brain feels punishing as if the company wants them to leave.

Revisión
¿Qué necesita mejorar el equipo directivo?

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.
