Fortune 500 posted their list of the top 100 companies to work for. I'm proud to have my "alma mater," Build A Bear Workshop rank on the list at #94! I never had anything bad to say about the company while I worked there for nearly two years in 2006 and 2007. It was such a special time in my life while I worked there from the very beginning of the store's opening. I got to experience grand opening and all the firsts that followed. The insanity of Christmas time, the slow days when school went back in session, and all the great benefits that the company showered upon us employees. We could never say we were unappreciated. It was a pretty sweet gig and a great season in my life.
I'll never have another job interview like the one I had for that job. We were in the middle of the mall and we had to play some of the games that we play during parties. We had to show our love for kids and our enthusiasm. You definitely have to have a certain "something" in order to work at this place. It's possible to be the best salesman and yet be wrong for this job. Congrats Build A Bear!!!
