Tommy Bahama Employer Reviews

Great customers, great clothes and great environment. If you are a people person - this is a great Retail Job.

Would do scheduling and training. Would also open the front of house and check with the chef for daily specials. Would motivate the staff for fun high energy days. Management was laid back but ensured great food and service. The hardest part of the job was scheduling. The job was very fun with a laid back theme.

My most current job was as a Production Associate with Tommy Bahama; my typical day would be leading and follow-up with fittings, following up/advising comments for bulk approvals (fabrics, trims, etc...), tracking production (sample status & bulk production status). My co-workers found me reliable and pleasant to work with. I maintained a very strong – more... relationship with the Design team and through our partnership we were able to consistantly execute an excellent collection throughout the seasons, in a timely manner. – less

Opening procedures. Registers/cash trays/Numbers from the day before/Daily goals with our team members/Merchandise pull report/LY goals and what we need to obtain to hit our MB goals/Check on stock levels.
Everyday is a learning experience whether from work or from our customers.
I enjoy my co-workers as we strive to make each and every guest that walks – more... through our door a great Tommy Bahama shopping experience.
Pleasing rude customers and who are trying to cheat the system.
I enjoy seeing our loyal customers coming back every month just to drop by and say hi as well as making new friends through our exceptional customer service. – less

Life is one long weekend at Tommy Bahama! However, it is retail and we all know retail requires "working" weekends. But, from an atmosphere sense, why not work where it reminds everyone of being on vacation.

The best part of the work part has been amazing co-workers that care about their positions and the company. It is a team atmosphere that has been – more... successful and rewarding.

I have always appreciated the work/life balance with this company. We work hard, but are rewarded daily with the expectation that when your scheduled shift is over, work stays at work and your time is your own. – less

A day at work is good we always have things to do or clean. It is a really good place to start off at.

I really enjoyed working here. There was a great atmosphere, everyone who worked there were aswome to get a long with. The customers were great. Overall it was an amazing place to work for and if the opportunity presented itself to me, there would be no doubt but to go back.

No complaints! Management is great and co-workers are amazing. Makes my job fun.

Relaxed culture, fun clientele. Worked well with colleagues. Gained experience with loss prevention and inventory management.

The original company was amazing. Fun atmosphere, true belief in a work life balance and that life is one long weekend. The direction they are moving is the total opposite. A new president was hired from Abercrombie and brought with him the poor management ideas of a limited brand mentality, do more with a lot less. Im all for a company or person saving – more... money and having budgets but its when you have a job that takes two people 5 hours to complete and they want you to do it with one person in 3 hours. Where did the life is one long weekend go? Oh and all he does is hire people from his old company. Its called promote from within, thats how you get respect. – less

liked helping guests find the right clothes to suit them. Liked their replemishment system.

Selling product and making daily sales goals. Customer Service at all times is number one.

Helped out customers throughout the store, the management staff was very nice, there was nothing hard about the job, and I enjoyed helping customers put outfits together.

over all great company, typical day in a retail store,
some operations have room for improvement, but defiantly a growing company

Tommy Bahama prides itself on being a place that makes you feel relaxed and like "life is one long weekend". Throughout the company, employees are encouraged to do their best in their position and location, and to apply for other positions in the future. It's all about the team.

Unfortunately, the Raleigh store seems to be run much differently. It – more... has become a dictatorship in that location. The store manager only cares about advancing herself and not about the team. She will do anything and everything it takes to knock everyone out of her way, even her own team, so that she might get a better opportunity in the company. She steals sales from her team, she throws everyone under the bus, she loves the blame game, and she won't take responsibility for her own actions. She comes in late/leaves early almost regularly. Members from other stores have come to help out and have mentioned how it feels like they are back in middle school again. If you want to work for Tommy Bahama, go for it! It's truly a great company. The corporate team has everyone's back. If you're in NC, avoid the Raleigh store! I can assure you, the other locations are true to the Tommy lifestyle, so don't be afraid of the company, just this location. – less

this used to be a great place to work. but since the company hired a new president from abercrombie everything has become corporate and your opinion means nothing. work balance and the entire cultural view of the company has changed. your typical do twice as much business with half the payroll. expect to be micromangaed on every decision you make. there – more... is now no difference between working here and the gap, limited, jcrew, abercrombie, etc. oh and he has since started promoting people from his previous job rather than within tommy bahama. it's a shame. a few years ago it was an awesome place to work. now most of us are preparing our resumes. – less

The company has a lot to learn about customer service. and treating their employees with respect.

Tommy Bahama offers a great place to work , challenging but fair environment and lots of support from above. They really promote a work/life balance.
