Very challenging but learning experience.
Owner & Operator (Former Employee), Wichita, Kansas – March 31, 2013
Pros: career achievements.
Cons: 24-7 attention needed.
• Performed Repair work major/minor to include welding & metal fabrication
• Performed factory spec and custom painting
• Performed final detail of automobile to include color sanding, buffing and detail polishing.
• Records, bookkeeping, and payroll responsibilities
I learned how to interact with customers to ensure they were not only communicating – more... to me what they expected but also how to articulate my experience and how I could deliver on these expectations.
The hardest part of the job would had to be myself being the owner and how that followed you 24-7.
Developing that nucleus of industry personal contacts and the shared love of the Automotive Finish industry. – less

Very compatitive, Flexible scheduling, Fast paced, Unrewarding
SALES ASSOCIATE (Current Employee), New york, New York – March 1, 2013
The body Shop can be considered a great company. After being employed for almost 2 years, I have changed my opinion on the company completely. They are not true to their values and their products are overpriced and are not of quality. Management pushes sales associates to do anything possible to make a sale - even if it means lying to customers. Personally, – more... I am not comfortable with that. If a product is good, it should be able to sell itself rather than having sales people practically force customers to buy it. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with customers. Also, learning about the products was fun because you get to understand what effects ingredients have on the skin, which was very interesting. – less

Challenging and productive workplace in dealing with different customers and providing solutions to body repair issues
Body Shop Estimator (Current Employee), Torrance, CA – February 22, 2013
Pros: free lunch
Cons: staying late to handle customers
A challenging work environment in dealing with different types of customers' issues with body repair and their insurance coverages. Creative solutions are developed based on customers' ability to pay their own portion without sacrificing the quality of work and the integrity of the vehicle. The hardest part of the job is telling the customer that the – more... shop can only do so much in repairing the vehicle based on their affordability. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the customers' satisfaction after the work is done and how you have helped them in getting their car fixed beyond their expectations. – less

flexible work schedule, fun environment with excellent principles
Sales Associate (Current Employee), baltimore md – August 23, 2012
Pros: schedule and location
A typical work day for me consists of assisting customers through product decision making. A fast paced environment has taught me how to take on multiple tasks at the same time. A small space has made for a family like atmosphere and has also enabled my team and myself to create lasting impressions with each customer. The hardest part of my job is trying – more... to solve customer problems in a matter of minutes due to the fact that we are located in an airport and our customers are usually rushing but the greatest joy is knowing that we have satisfied every person to the best of our ability. – less

I loved working here
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – July 19, 2012
I started as a cashier and ended up a Co-Manager. A typical day would be clocking in at 7 am with one more associate, going to the bank by 9 am, coming back do a pow wow with the associate, start the day by putting out new merchandise, making sure the store was clean and ready for business, while store is open check sales and where we need to be in – more... the next hour, have another associate come in, make sure the schedule is made for following week, make sure the associates are dressed properly as they come in, do a 3 o'clock reading and by the end of the day close the registers, close the store down. – less

fun and challenging
Co-Manager (Former Employee), North Little Rock, AR – July 18, 2012
This job was pretty fun but also stressful. I was co-manager here and I had to learn how to do payroll budgeting and hiring on top of my everyday duties and getting my employees to reach our quotas. It was a fun job though.

Fun, positive and intimate workplace,
Assistant Manager (Current Employee), winston Salem, NC – July 8, 2012
Pros: free makeup, event parties in the store, reasonable pay and hours
Cons: the music in the store, working on sunday, no healthcare plan
Typical day at the body shop starts at 930 That's when i do the paperwork And count both registers and the safe and Check the voicemail for messages from the district manager, store opens at 10 and most likely i will not see your first customer until 12, the next person to come is at 1 pm most likely it is another assistant manager, after 1 o'clock – more... business normally takes up, that's when we start doing: demos, facial,and makeovers, for the rest of the day i pretty much talk to every customer that walks in the door, if they are a new customer i get them to most likely buy our body butter or if they are a returning customer you show them something new they never bought before, Great Flexible hours, Awesome products, Awesome reasonable flexible store manager, the management team is really laid back, and goal oriented, the hardest part of this job trying to make goal when no customers come in, the most enjoyable thing about this job, most of our products sales itself, and it's such a friendly laid back atmosphere you fall in love with everybody and every product right away! – less

Title - Assistant Manager open/close the store (Former Employee), Charlotte, NC – April 26, 2012
Pros: everything was easy-going
I loved everything about Body Shop. It was my first management job and my entire staff was amazing. I learned that I was capable of anything. I realized that being forced into action makes one a stronger person. I had to deal with everything from punishment of employees to shoplifting.

I had to learn how to be firm and discipline my staff accordingly. – more... My managers were also easy to work for and get along with. There was straightening and organizing an entire store of trendy clothes that everyone wanted. Body Shop is a good company. – less
