What don't you like about working at Bed Bath & Beyond?
"I was talked down to almost every day by management; one manager seemed to revel in making me cry. I was yelled at and harassed by customers whose problems were due to poor store management and a lack of employee resources (and a lack of adequate staff). My friends were sexually harassed, and we were all depressed from work. I had anxiety attacks about going to work. It was a dismal environment with utmost respect for customers (even the out-of-line ones) and no respect for lower and mid-level employees."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Give a crap about the people who work under you. Don't yell. Acknowledge that the customer isn't actually always right; they're usually wrong. Just treat everyone with dignity and acknowledge a job well done. Also, don't keep us until two in the morning closing, when our shift ended at 11. That's ridiculous."
