"My dept MOD is awesome with training, etc. BBB needs work in general though!"

What do you like about working at Bed Bath & Beyond?

"The fast paced environment, most of my co-workers are extremely hard working, supportive, and helpful!! I've gained a ton of knowledge on products/brands I've always had an interest in learning about but probably wouldn't have ever pursued without working for BBB."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Whether dealing with the staff or customers, be assertive and confident, but make sure you don't come off as being pushy or forceful, and most of all, be enthusiastic at all times on the sales floor!"

What don't you like about working at Bed Bath & Beyond?

"Undue favoritism seems to be the rationale at BBB; therefore, there doesn't seem to be enough opportunities to move up in the company for those of us who truly deserve it."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There are too many to list, it'd take me all day!"

What do you like about working at Bed Bath & Beyond?

"There were many learning opportunities as far as product knowledge. Supportive co-workers (aside from upper management). If you're looking for a job/career where outstanding customer service is your top priority then this is the company you should work for!!"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I want to just point out that my actual salary wasn't even an option on this thing's list of choices!!! If you know how to truly stand out in a really, really good way and can afford to have your hours cut down to less than 25 hours a week occasionally (sometimes more frequently) then I say go for it!! But probably the best piece of advice I can offer to anyone interviewing at BBB is this: Don't allow them to walk all over you or try to overshadow your skills, etc., let your personality and experience shine bright!!!!!"

What don't you like about working at Bed Bath & Beyond?

"I was offered a higher position along with another co-worker, was told different stories by every manager when I'd ask when I'd be starting training for the position, finally I was told I had to go through bridal training in order to become full time in the new position. Once I completed consultant training and every single university class at the store, I was told I had become too much of an asset to the bridal department for them to put me anywhere else!! I can't begin to tell you how tricked and cheated I felt. The worst part is that I'm a single mother trying to raise a child all alone in this economy!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I'd start with getting things organized!! Our store hires a lot of college students who are upfront with their availability limitations but every week when the schedule is posted, a good half of those student employees are scheduled during a shift or day they indicated they wouldn't be available to work. In my opinion, this is due to a lack of organization by the scheduling manager who is responsible for keeping track of all employees availability whether limited or not! I would give credit to the associates who actually put in the physical work of keeping the store clean, stocked, put together, etc. instead of taking credit for the hard work of others around me like I see happen and have had happen to me on a daily basis!! I'd also make for damn certain that the employees that are lower on the totem pole were treated with the respect and care they deserve to be treated as human beings with children and families!"
