Great reputation
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Novi, MI – May 9, 2013
Pros: clothing
Cons: they revamped the bonus program to be almost unachievable
Eddie Bauer has a great product collection in men's, women's and accessories. They have an outstanding reputation. The design team spent time figuring out the best way to outfit the female body by developing pant styles to fit numerous figures.

My co-workers were amazing.

They do put a lot of pressure on selling the Eddie Bauer loyalty card and credit – more... card. – less

Great place to work if you enjoy working part-time.
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Cypress, TX – April 22, 2013
Pros: good times with co-workers.
Cons: non or inferior low grade health insurance and short hours.
I enjoy working with the customers. We have the nicest customers from all over the world.
I work with quality co-workers each one brings their own specific style to the store.
The hardest part is working part time and working on the weekend.

Great part-time job
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Glen Mills, PA – April 22, 2013
Pros: great employee discount
Cons: on call shifts and sparse hours
As a part time job, Eddie Bauer is ideal. The managers are understanding, the coworkers are friendly, and the hours are flexible. The day to day work is not difficult and is sometimes boring, but a positive attitude is essential. Part time employees from the bottom of the ladder are not generally considered for advancement unless they specifically express – more... their interest in a future management position. Overall, I have really enjoyed working at Eddie Bauer. – less

An amazing environment with great people
PT-Sales Associate (Former Employee), Syracuse, NY – April 18, 2013
Overall, Eddie Bauer was a wonderful place to work. The Store Manager and other managers were very dedicated to their jobs but also extremely understanding when it came to the strengths and weaknesses of their employees. I, as an original associate of this new location, was awarded the opportunity to open the store as well with about eight others. We – more... did the entire floor set, set up all the tables and tons of hanging and folding. Typically, a day was no different than any other retail store I have worked in. Some customers were hard to deal with but most were very pleasant and thankful. I enjoyed assisting our 'regulars' the most because we learned their names, what they liked and they loved us. – less

Typical retail position
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Fort Wayne, IN – April 17, 2013
Greet and inform customers of the current sales as they enter the store. Assist customers in selecting items for purchase. Use a cash register to finalize sale. Additionally I worked overnights to implement the new floor set which included setting up the window displays. I was also responsible for receiving the daily shipments, unpacking and prepping – more... the items for the sales floor. – less

Fun workplace for part timers
sales associate (Former Employee), Fargo, ND – April 1, 2013
Pros: discount on clothes
Cons: occasionally demanding management
Assisted customers in finding merchandise. Learned alot about the Eddie Bauer brand. Management is not always on the same page. Co-workers made the day fast and fun. Hardest part for me was hitting and exceling my sales goal. I dont like to push people into buying. Enjoyed doing store floor sets and making visuals.

Pros: employee discount of 50%
Cons: no benifits at all
I have been there for almost 3 years now I have enjoyed my time with this comapny. The product is an excellant product and I have no problems with promoting it to the customers. Not only do we strive for perfection within our unit we also enjoy having fun while doing so. I never worked in retail and I learned right away. I became a keyholder in the – more... first 1 month of being hired there. My management team is awesome we work very closly and are very supportive. the hardest part of my job is mkaing sure that the sore looks good at all times while guiding my customers in the right direction. Just being there is enjoyable for me. – less

Great clothes, discount and people
Part-time associate (Current Employee), Coralville, IA and Eden Prairie, MN – March 20, 2013
I've been both a manager and a part-time sales associate. I loved being on both sides of the equation. As a manager I learned a lot about myself and how customers really want to be treated. As a part-time employee I don't have to deal with the stress of being a manager but get to help people find exactly what they came in to look for. I make sure everyone – more... looks their best before they leave the store. – less

Pros: discount
I worked both locations and learned so much.. Eddie Bauer was my first retail job. I was a very shy person and it has helped me come out of my shell and be a people person! My co-workers were great, helpful, knowledgeable and nice. Everyone tag teamed with customers and had fun doing it.

Overall nice place to work.
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Foley, AL – March 2, 2013
Pros: great work atmosphere
Cons: on-calls
Everyday you go into work, say hello to everyone and begin making sales and helping customers.
I learned a lot about customer service, using a cash register and floor sets.
The management is really nice, the know how to get stuff done in a timely manner and still be relaxed and joke around. My co-workers are awesome, fun people to work with.
There is – more... not a hard part to the job.
The most enjoyable part would have to be the customers, they are a blast to work with and you meet people from everywhere. – less

Worlds true outdoors brand with amazing down products!
Manager, Retail Marketing (Former Employee), Bellevue, WA – February 5, 2013
Pros: innovative product, creative freedom, and employee encouraged outside activities to include horseback riding lessons, paddle boarding, boot camps and yoga on-site.
Cons: program eliminated after corporate restructure
A typical day at work includes working with my channel partners (retail, outlet, and direct) and merchandisers on executing seasonal product stories for each quarter. I along with with my store program specialist would build strategy decks to proposed promotional efforts to drive traffic and increase bottom line sales.

I conducted weekly meetings with – more... my visual merchandising leads and project manager on creative status reports.

The most enjoyable part of my job was building a divisional national sweepstakes, where I was able to work collaborative with our third party brand agency and fulfillment counterparts. – less

Wonderful Place To Work
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Kansas City, MO – February 5, 2013
Pros: excellent management team, team sell environment, strong customer base
Cons: there are benefits available to part time employees, but you have to maintain a certain amount of hours to receive these benefits, this means that they are pretty hard to get if you are just a sales associate
This is the best retail environment I have worked in thus far. The store management genuinely cares about their employees. I look forward to many more years with this company and their employee turnover is very low. This is the first place I have worked that guarantees their merchandise so well. The customer service offered in this store is second to – more... none and as a result the customers are very happy. – less

Pros: store remodel
Cons: store closing
It was a tough job, but I enjoyed it very much. The hours were regular to brutal. The District Managers were tough at times and unrealistic. The manager teams were great but extremely competitve ithon eand another's stores being so close to one another.
