Bed Bath and Beyond Employer Reviews

I have been working at Bed Bath and Beyond since the first week in January of this year and it has been a great experience so far. The manager is efficient and hardworking and the other employees are fun to work with and put a great deal of effort into their jobs.

I learned a lot about time management, multi-tasking and dealing with customers.

Not only is it a shopper's paradise, but working here was just as much as a pleasure. And before anyone says I didn't, my department room was the Towel Room! I started in back-stock unloading trucks and processing merchandise. Then with my flare and training (from Pier 1) for visual merchandising, I ended up on the floor creating displays and wall fixtures – more... while still giving awesome guest service. I didn't mind cashiering either, most of my add-on sales happen while I was standing there chatting with the guest I was ringing up, then I did on the floor. I loved working Bridal too, to see the happy couple figure out the scan gun, and get excited about their wish list! I also enjoyed the benefits of going to the manufacture's educational courses on their products, not just for the discount, but to learn about the product and why the product was so expensive to begin with! In BBB there is no typical day, but everyday was fast paced, challenging, and full of guest service no matter what! – less

Enjoyed working with my fellow co-workers and the management was great. A typical day I would receive and ship the incoming produst and stock the products.

I would get to work clock in and head to my department , which was bedding. I would than fix bed displays and make sure all wall displays were neat and ready for customer views. I would walk around floor and look for any customers that may need help for any reason. I would get a shopping cart and walk around the wood for a hr or 2 zoning and offering – more... home deliveries. I would sometimes head upstairs for cashier backup when things would get busy. At the end of my shift i would make sure that my area of depatment was neat a fully stocked for the next shift coming in. I would than head upstairs to clock out. – less

Customer Service
Placed product orders, directed telecommunications, assisted customers in product selection, trained in sales, completed customer transactions, organized returns, and coordinated communications between departments.

A day of work is a day of labor, but always kept the great satisaction to the customer and never satisfied the employees. Therefore, their was no unity and no progress.

In overall the establishment wasn't that bad to work for. Very accommodating when it came to your work schedule, but very hard to move up in the company. To many revolving managers to report to each day.

I worked there for 3 1/2 Years and never got moved up in the company. Went to numerous of managers stating i could do other positions but never got the chance they always went for the new hires.The most enjoyable part of the job was helping the customers as much as possible. I loved answering the phones and helping the customers with the product they – more... were looking for and giving them proper information on the items. Typical day at work was greeting the customers as they entered the door , answering the phones and directing them to the departments they ask for and assisting them with the answer of their questions. – less

Fun work environment, with plenty of opportunity to learn different task.

I liked this place located on the Upper East Side in Manhattan.
I got the a part time job and it was a great start handling money and customers.

I worked there for 6months on the floor and it wasnt too bad, the customers made up for it

Not a good fit unless you are not interested in work life balance

*My typical day is I work either morning's, mid shifts or evenings. I work either at Customer Service or just on a regular register. I deal with people on a regular basis. I answer the phone on a regular basis. I clean on a regular basis. Constantly answering questions for customers. I ring customers up at the register. I do returns on a daily basis. – more... I interact with management and other employees.

*I have learned more patience working in retail. I have learned how a company should be ran. I have learned how to handle difficult people. I have learned about Bridal Shows when there are some that I am offered to work, and how you sell your company so you get more business.

*Management is pretty good in a lot of ways.

*To me I don't feel there is a hard part in the job.

*I love working with people, I love being a Bridal Consultant and working Bridal Shows, but mostly it is the interaction with others. – less

They are always doing interviews because the turnover rate is so high, which says a lot about how the employees are paid and treated. Granted, the turnover is high in most retail jobs but at the store I worked at it was outrageous. We had people the management made quit in less than one week on several occasions. No one in their right mind would do – more... the jobs of ten people in five hours while being talked down to like school children the entire time.

The single most irritating thing about this job are the ridiculous safety policies. You can't even touch a frigging two-step ladder without getting approval from an MOD. Yes, this is how short of a lease you are put on. No joking. The rules are in fact completely arbitrary as is proven when the store is too busy to follow their spotter system, which is one person bringing down merchandise on one side of the store while another watches them from another. These rules go out the window during the holidays when every single associate is tied up. This shows that they are unnecessary, just another way for the management to degrade you.

The management will talk for hours to each other or to customer service and then complain that you are not working fast or hard enough. It is incredible to me how they can do this with a straight face.

I won't even go into detail about Beyond store orders. If you read this review and still want to apply at one of their stores, then you will come to love management talking like parrots about Beyond store orders, literally many times during your shift and in front of customers, regardless of how successful you are in getting them. Then again, if you are that desperate to take this job, then you must have more to worry about than stepping into this hellish nursery. – less

My work days are the normal Monday through Friday with an occasional Saturday. I have always worked in Customer Service until I started working in a recieving position. I loved it. As much as I love helping people, I enjoy being able to stay busy while everything is fast pace. There is nothing very hard about a customer service job, minus the slow pace – more... of it. I have always enjoyed the people I get to work with and some of the friendly customers and familiar faces that are always returning. – less

Well i would come into work at 7am, I would have to put up freight no matter how much there is for that day, usually have about 4 people helping on my side, would fill what needed to be filled on the floor and what was left over would either be top stocked all the way up top, or put into our stock room.
I have learned quite a bit about safety, and how – more... i should always have a spotter when i top stock stuff.
All of my co workers are very fun and friendly I have nothing bad to say about them at all.
The hardest part about my job, would be the drive, i wake up at 5 am to drive an hour and a half to work.
The enjoyable part about my job would be working with people that dont get mad over the little things, they like to joke around talk and on the same note get their jobs done while helping the customers, also helping me with whatever i need like finding a spot to an item I have no idea where it goes. – less

The Management staff is wonderful, the company's values are top notch. I was seasonal employment-just ending yesterday (1.28.13). I will be returning for the next holiday season.

i enjoyed working with public and high energy store , always had sales going on and will take merchandise back anytime even if its 2 years old and used heavily !

The Bed Bath & Beyond store that i work for hopefully is not like all the rest in the Company. I was told that if you can't say anything nice about some thing don't say anything at all.
