Management Turnover commonplace
Retail Asst. Store Mgr (Former Employee), Bridgewater, NJ –
Pros: none.
Cons: too many to list
This retail establishment had 3 different store managers within 9 months. That does not include the 2 months the store went uncovered with a store manager, leaving myself to run the holiday season. The District Manager also left the company. Massive amounts of hours to work. Little compensation.

Productive and fun workplace
Sales associate (Former Employee), Allen, TX –
Pros: working in an outlet mall, %50 discount on store items
Cons: hired as seasonal help only, no health benefits
I was a sales associate. I handled the cash register as well as worked on the floor helping customers with the clothing items they had questions about. I assisted every customer that required use of the changing rooms and any items they needed from multiple clothing sizes to multiple clothing types.

Positive, fun work environment
Sales Associate/ Keyholder (Current Employee), Columbus, OH –
Everyday I come into work and am greeted by every co-worker I pass until I get to the time clock; everyone is always excited to see one another.

Before every shift we meet with a member of the management team to go over previous days sales results, what we need to improve upon, and goals for the upcoming day.

Working at Eddie Bauer has taught me the – more...  value of extrodinary customer service and teamwork.

I have never had any problems with management, they have always been accomodating to whatever schedule life has thrown at me. Along with my other co-workers they have always been supportive, positive people to be around. – less

Easy going workplace
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Medford, OR –
Pros: meeting new people, new learning experience, a lot of skills learned
This was actually my first job when I was in high school. That being said, I didn't know what it was like having a job but I will tell you one thing, I miss it there. Nobody has ever treated me with such respect in a job such as these employers. They don't take you for granted and they praise your work! Not many places do that anymore I've come to realize. – more...  The hardest part of my job was finding things to do when we had down time and had everything done. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to have been that your managers actually notice you and care. – less

Great clothing store with great management
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Chesterfield, MO –
Eddie Bauer was great to work for but there weren't enough hours to go around on the off seasons. Christmas was great because the store was packed with people and I felt like I was contributing greatly to the store and the brand

Love the people I work with and for but no security or real room for growth.
Retail Sales Associate / Key Holder (Current Employee), Rockaway, NJ –
Pros: contest prizes, peak hour pay, holiday food
Cons: cutting hours, staff goal demands, too many offers to customers
They do not offer full time associate hours ever. They have cut hours due to lack of business, set 3 months for this in 2012 so far. This could change and be every month for all non management staff, who knows what the future holds for associates.

I need job security. , I need to work 25-40 hrs per week.

Shelley – January 14, 2012

I noted that Eddie Bauer has an EAP option, and some other "basic" extras but do they offer full time employment and health and/or dental insurance very often? I don't recall ever seeing a full time opportunity ever advertised in an employment site.
