Pros

I worked for the company for a few years. In 2 different stores. One store was great and I loved it. Can be fun Good people work there

Cons

The pay is awful and one of the reasons I left My manager at one store talked to me in the most demeaning and horrible way. Three years of employment for nothing The other bear builders are nice but the managers talk about you behind your back a lot and have obvious favourites Get paid very little t give an experience rather then just an ordinary retail job. You could work somewhere else with more pay and less work.
