Not a bad company to work for. Needed better upper management. To many floor moves and not enough help. People did not stay long with the company. Did floor moves late at night. Not a lot of changes to move up in the company. Lots of unnecessary drama. Upper management did recruit people looking to move them up even though they did not have management experience.

Pros

Easy if you are just a cashier.

Cons

Short breaks, not enough time to eat.

Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Burien, WA - January 11, 2023

There was nothing exciting about working for Eddie Bauer. I spent most work days bored out of my mind, but my coworkers made it bearable. But that's really what I expected from retail. At least we are paid above minimum wage.

pruductive and organized environment

Associate (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - December 6, 2022

Productive and fun workplace with good people, clean and organized environment, you have to stand for long periods of time, but you can listen to music, but you can only have one earbud in your ear.

Pros

flexibility with tasks

Meh.

Sales Supervisor (Former Employee) - Clackamas, OR - November 29, 2022

It's a clothing retail job. So like, it's not a good job, but I guess it wasn't horrible either. The team is whats going to make or break the experience, and I liked my team.

Pros

Nice people

Cons

Retail

The company has an excellent framework.

Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) - Grove City, PA - October 26, 2022

My experience at Eddie Bauer was rewarding. I loved working there. I most enjoyed working with customers, the physical demands of a big store, the challenge of meeting sales goals

Hard and attentive work can get you noticed.

asm (Former Employee) - San Francisco - October 20, 2022

A little hard work and good communication skills will go a long way here. Sounds simple but you would be surprised. Don't be shy about your accomplishments; it just might place you on the right person's radar come a time of need for them.

One Person Ruined The Whole Milieu

Stock Associate (Former Employee) - Kittery, ME - October 12, 2022

I can't tell you what happened here. It was good and nice, but also awful. I don't know how else to put it but that. It wasn't the best place to work, but it started out as a great place. One person ruined the whole environment and atmosphere. One person. Whether they meant to or not, that one person was always throwing a proverbial monkey wrench into the machinery of the workplace morale, which was otherwise quite high and brotherly/familial.

Pros

Familial atmosphere

Cons

Unstable supervisor

Production work place

Crane Operator (Current Employee) - Groveport, OH - September 6, 2022

es una muy buena empresa para trabajar, especialmente en el segundo turno, no están detrás de que te acoses y exijas números.The negative is that they change their schedule during production days.

I enjoy how all the stores in the area help each other out by sending people to help.

Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Edina, MN - August 23, 2022

What's good... my talents are not being wasted!!I can straighten up any area set to task. Play scavenger hunt when we do "ship from store" is always exciting and a great challenge. Also seeing where the items are going is very interesting. What's bad... is not being paid any pay increases over four years and denying payment upon completion of expense reports.

Pros

Base store is located 6 blocks away.

Cons

Other stores are farther and expence report has to be filled out and getting paid...

It's fine for retail if you have a good store manager

Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Littleton, CO - August 4, 2022

Worked there for 11+ years. It was fine, it fit what I needed at the time. The store employees are usually good overall. Upper management is a joke for the most part.

Pros

Good people, no uniform

Cons

Terrible upper management
