Overall bebe was a learning experience, not a great one but an experience. i met some great people there. typical day i either open or closed store, there were countless DM visits, and conference calls, i worked long hours, and did it by myself mostly, my co-workers were well, co-workers. the most enjoyable part were the company events and parties.

Busy during the holidays, above minimum wage. they push sales goals on you and you have to dress up everyday. they call you on your days off to come in to work. its an ok place to work

What's new in the fashion world and what does Bebe have to offer. Are we on the right track with the fashion trends. Must read fashion news, and look book weekly. Must look on Bebe.com to see what's new and what sale. You learn how to wardrobe clients from head to toe. Taking work look into night time glam. Establish a relationship with the client. – more... Invite them to parties and events that Bebe is hosting. The job was fun and exciting. I did a lot of the merchandising and visual with in the store and in the windows. In charge of knowing our stocks and inventory. Managing people, detail oriented, time management learning about the business roles. – less

I was a bebe employee just a few months ago at NY location. I had high expectations being that bebe seems like a pretty good brand and company. But working there was less than rewarding.
When I say the pay system is unfair here's what I mean, managers are paid a high hourly wage and stylists are paid a low hourly wage plus commission. Now the commission – more... is measured by dollar per hour. So were not getting commission from every item sold, instead what we sell per transaction is averaged into how much is sold per hour. Depending on what the dollar per hour is, determines how much commission the stylist is paid hourly. Now whatever this amount might be decreases every minute when not selling. So even while closing the store this commission decreases. If thats not unfair enough, while stylists are hurrying to fix up the store to leave without drastically affecting commission, managers take their sweet time since they are getting a nice hourly pay. Talk about unfair. Not to mention the management tends to be disorganized at times. – less

From my very first day the entire team has been welcoming. There is a focus on personal betterment when it comes to the company wanting health to be a priority. Being healthy means there is a wonderful work/life balance and the benefits are amazing. My manager is very experienced and great to learn from. My only suggestion would be that there is more – more... feedback given when in the first year of employment. I kind of jumped into my role and "winged" it since the timing of my on boarding wasn't ideal. Overall, my department is very team oriented. I'm smiling when get to work and That says a lot. – less

Co-workers for the most part are pretty laid back and very easy to get along with. Hardest part of the job is being a prisoner to your work desk with very little freedom to wander away for a few minutes making work feel very redundant at times. Also, very little room for growth and seems they'd rather hire from outside than within. But great benefits!

Fun place to work. Great to interact with different people everyday.

Working at Bebe was a great experience for me as far as styling however I didn't like the way they pay their stylist minimum wage. I felt that they could have paid the employees a little more money and value their hard work a little better. Sometimes when I made really good sales I felt that they didn't really appreciate it and the managers where always – more... being very fake and it wasn't a good look for them. – less

It can be fun most days and very fast paced. At times it can get crazy but i love working for BeBe and i love working with my clients most of all. :)

Most enjoyable part of my job was helping women gain confidence in themselves and to feel beautiful!

ITS ONE OF THE LEADERS IN FASHION NOT A BAD PLACE TO WORK FOR EITHER.

I really enjoy working at BeBe primarily because of the team and coworkers that I work with

a typical work day started befoer 5 am that was the hardest part of the day.fast paced enviornment

At Bebe clothing store, I am to greet and assist customers and clients with all personal styling needs giving them world class service. Describes merchandise and explain use, and care of merchandise to customers, recommend, select, and help locate or obtain merchandise based on customer needs and desires; Compute sales prices, total purchases and receive – more... and process cash or credit payment; Answer questions over the phone and/or face to face regarding the store and its merchandise.

At Bebe I learned how to feel more comfortable and be able to approach people and socialize. Management is wonderful! The management knows how to keep things flowing but at the same time makes me feel very comfortable. All the co-workers get along. We all help one another with any questions or suggestions on sales. The only thing about working for Bebe is being able to walk in heels for long hours. The most enjoyable thing about the job is being able to help the customers and fulfilling their needs. – less

A typical work day is focused on interacting with present clients driving in store sales and those at home setting up appointments. As each day we aim to further fostering the relationship between stylists and our clients. The manner in which transactions are approached teaches me that a more personal approach to sales is the best way. Clients enjoy – more... feeling like they are a part of a family who care about their best interests. Being a part of lower management I provide the bridge between my store manager and coworkers. It is an interesting position to have which may prove challenging at times because it is important I ensure both sides are being accurately represented. The hardest part of my job sometimes results in my most enjoyable part of my job. Dealing with a disgruntled client can prove to be a challenge but being able to turn the same client into a pleased one before they leave our doors is the greatest triumph. I do enjoy working with people and I value every lesson these interactions have taught me professionally and personally. – less

Like any other Retail Business, Great Company to start a career with.

Working for a company that was focused on the clients helped build personal relationships and kept our customers coming back. Typical days consist of preparing for the work day before store openings and ensure that everything was set to go and the day spent focusing on sales. Encouraging staff and constantly finding opportunities to further develop – more... their selling techniques. Learned to be a member of an excellent management team and manage a personal area of responsibility as well as support others within theirs to ensure that all areas of management were consistently completed satisfactory. Built strong working relationships with fellow management as well as staff and had a wonderful support system with district, area, and regional managers. – less
