Worse part-time job out there - Bear Builder Build-A-Bear Employee Review

Toxic work environment. Clear boundaries between those who have been there for years and those who have just joined. No socials implemented nor is socialising encouraged. Operate a strict American code of practise, with their hard sales techniques which aren't necessary. Area managers seem to have little to no experience- which makes it frustrating. Pay is poor, they exploit under 18s with their minimum wage- which isn't fair for the stress that comes with the job. Everything takes ages to sort out, waiting months for your P45 is an example. Also, shifts are short, average 4 hours a day. Little scope for growth, managers seem to think its the army with their managerial styles. Pressure comes from top down.
