![]() ![]() I began employment at this Beaumont branch of the corporation after an intense job search and an unexpectedly longer-than-planned stint of unemployment. You're rarely given time for customer follow up and questioned every minute you take over the a. You get two minutes after a call to notate and if the customer needs follow up in the future, good luck ever reading your emails to get resolution. This is not a place where you can really take care of your customer unless you are a machine. The attrition and turnover is incredible and the stress level is high. However, your given zero minutes a day to check up on issues that require follow up, they have archaic systems, and they care more about their rules, metrics, adherence and regulations than they do about their employees. They say your job is to be the expert in heartfelt life experiences. The actual job can be fun really, problem solving is like a puzzle to me so I found this aspect challenging and enjoyable.Ī common complaint however is they ship slow(I was told multiple times a day that if a customer had chosen Amazon or Target they would have already had their items, which was true) and they have redundant systems that are also slow and cumbersome yet they expect you to accomplish the impossible to open and run a dozen programs in less than 5 minutes. ![]() Most of the customers call in wanting assistance and help purchasing for registry customers, to report a lost or damaged item or to get a coupon applied to their purchase. Lets start with the positive, the upside of this call center is that you only take inbound calls. * Awful Customer Base #1 - Prepare for tons of theft attempts, and tons of attempted returns of stolen merchandise. Full timers get health and up to two weeks paid days off. Management are usually professionals with strong retail backgrounds, well trained, and usually knowledgeable about everything in the store. The only downside is it can take several weeks to receive the items. The selection varies every month/year, but it's something cool to check on. The idea is to allow employees to purchase some of the merchandise they sell and become more familiar with it. * Incentive Items - Every month there is a list of merchandise employees can order at usually substantial discounts (Such as $70 pillows for $25 during one month). There is some give and take and as long as you do not ask for insanely specific and unusual shifts, you'll be fine. They let me set my days and hours (Within reason), and I never had a time off request denied as long as you submit it properly (Usually two weeks in advance, if not further). * Very Flexible with Part Time - Most managers are willing to work with you changing availability, as I did while working there during college. It's excellent if you are a college student, retired, or otherwise need a second job, but terrible for a full time position. ![]() Bed Bath & Beyond is a really good place to work, but only if you seek a part time position. ![]()
