First Job
Sales Associate/Cashier (Former Employee) – Trumbull, CT – December 5, 2012
This was my first job, and it was quite organized. However, the company just had a really hard time with keeping steady management; which was quite annoying. However, the sales associates were nice and everyone got along very well.
Pros
nice customers
Cons
short shifts
Best Job I've Had!
SALES ASSOCIATE (Former Employee) – Billings, MT – January 13, 2019
I cannot say enough good things about Eddie Bauer! Great management, great coworkers, great customers 99% of the time too. Not to mention a crazy good discount. I loved working here!
Sales associate of men and women's clothing
Assistant Manager of retail store (Former Employee) – Bloomington, MN – January 2, 2019
Job was in the Mall of America. The store was busy most of the time. The holiday season was very busy. It was stressful trying to keep up during this time period.
Wonderful Company with Good Employees
Backstock Associate/Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Champaign, IL – December 31, 2018
You learn much about the company before anything, it’s based more on being an outdoor enthusiast than most stores and as such wants to put those same enthusiasts first. Very good with employees as well and very relaxed environment especially for retail.
Pros
Relaxed, discounts, certificates.
Cons
Short breaks
Several employees were treated poorly by management.
Sales (Former Employee) – Oak Brook, IL – December 27, 2018
I stared working doing sales for men's clothes. Before long, I had some of the highest sales at Eddie Bauer. I was completely motivated. But then another employee started taking credit for the sales that I was making. Management even promoted him. But they did nothing about it when I complained. So I left.
Pros
everyone had their own selling style
Cons
managment style
Company throws employees under the bus.
Assistant Manager - Operations (Former Employee) – Detroit, MI – December 25, 2018
Do not ever expect corporate to have your back in any customer complaint circumstance. Managers have no real authority. District managers turn a blind eye to employees “forced” to work off the clock. They never out right say it, but the workload is unmanageable for a retail store. 80 hours a week and you still feel unaccomplished at the end of the day. Loose return policy makes it so that employees cannot meet their quotas in terms of sales. Company treats you as just another number.
Pros
Decent pay
Cons
Pay isn’t work the stress and workload
stressful, cut throat
Store Manager (Former Employee) – Washington, PA 15301 – December 7, 2018
there was a daily goal for each associate to meet for credit card applications. Every week, if an associate wasn't meeting their goal, there was a "discussion" from upper management to let that associate go. We were not on commission, but had an individual goal. Once again, if an associate wasn't meeting that weekly goal, another "discussion" occurred. I would have associates come in and ask if they were getting fired that day for not meeting goals. A stressful workplace where the employees were fighting over sales, and credit apps.
Pros
I enjoyed the associates
Cons
long hours, constant threats of job loss
It was pretty cool
Retail Sales Associate/Cashier (Former Employee) – New York, NY – December 6, 2018
There were slow days then quick paced days. Slow days were having a few customers and just unfolding to fold again because it was something to do. Some days we had so many customers and fortunately my team and I were able to help each and every one. The cleaning after store hours was so time consuming that we couldn’t finish it. We had to resume the next morning as well as vacuuming and filling in the racks before opening. My co workers were very friendly and respectful. I can’t remember a time when myself or coworkers had a falling out. There was always a mutual respect and getting along, laughing and joking at appropriate times.
Pros
Free lunch, discounts
Dynamic workplace with lots of interaction with people
Stock Associate (Current Employee) – Lone Tree, CO – December 6, 2018
A typical day in the stock room involves receiving shipment every morning. This can be up to 150 boxes of clothes at nearly 40 items per box. Throughout the day, you are expected to perform item checks in the stockroom for salespeople and ship up to 100 orders out of the store while also unpacking, folding, and sorting the clothing that came in that morning. It is not uncommon to be directed into a variety of additional side projects by managers who often contradict each other, making it easy to fall behind on your assigned duties. However, the rest of the staff is generally fun to work with and everybody helps each other out to try to stay on schedule even with erratic management.
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
inconsistent management, scheduling problems
Great Workplace

Good Side Job
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Centennial, CO – November 29, 2018
This is pretty hit and miss place to work. It is pretty dependent on who the manager(s) are. If you are lucky enough to get a good manager who values employees and culture, then it will be a good experience for you.
