Pros

The pay is great and for the most part the employees are very nice. Bath and Body has a great product, and great customer service. Also the training the company gives is pretty well detailed.

Cons

They do not know the meaning of work life balance at Bath and body. For store management 50-60 hour weeks happen all the time. The company is pretty good about granting time off, but when your not on vacation you working 50 hours plus. Also the company insists on constanly making last minute changes. The company often has a hard time getting the product needed to the stores, and the worst part is they blame the store when its empty.

Pros

With good management, it can be a fun place to work.

Cons

The corporation cut part time staff shifts from 4 hours a day to 3. Also, during the holiday season, I have been told that as many as 80 people have been hired to work in one store, though whether or not that is true, I don't know. There were strange limits to how many hours part time staff can work per week, and the corporation seemed to encourage stores to have a high number of staff to spread across a relatively low number of hours on the payroll.

Pros

It's a good national company. I worked there for 8 years and loved it. The peopld that I worked with were great. There was a lot of flexabilty in hours and what stores you could work at. The discounts at the sister stores were helpful for the holidays. They were always trying now ideas and products to keep people coming back.

Cons

It was sometimes hard to explain to customers why the item they liked was now gone. They shold have downsized products rather than just take them away. but I do understand their attemp to keep up with the times
