* PlotTailoredToTheParty: {{Inverted|Trope}}. The bears are all miscast in their roles, particularly the klutzy, {{ne|rvousWreck}}urotic Panda getting assigned to assembly duty, while Ice Bear, [[ModernMajorGeneral who would have had no problem there, ends up being assigned the cupcake mascot role to attract people where he is asked to put on a massive grin...]] [[TheQuietOne which clearly isn't his department]]. Grizzly Bear, who would have been best suited for that role, is instead stuck as Cupcake ATM assistant, which he is a little too eager to please for. As you can guess, the more tech-savvy Panda would have been perfect in that role. Only by a fluke do the bears actually get any money. (see: AchievementsInIgnorance)

* PointyHairedBoss: While the bears didn't do any favors with their non-resume, the boss gets no gold star for his inability or apathy towards gauging their basic proficiencies, leading him to completely mismatch them in duty assignment. Also, he doesn't check in on them as he suggested, only making his judgment on them, which results in them getting fired, based on the simple fact that things went up in smoke, seemingly more interested in taking off to go fishing.
