Bath & Body Works reviews

District managers should be consistent and follow the company’s policy and procedures when managing their district. The reason I stepped down from being a store manager was because of a new district manager. DM had rigid rules that wasn’t in our policy and procedures. When I questioned anything, DM just stated that it was non/negotiable. I had been a manger for nine years, a trainer for my district, very low turn over in my store, and won our national trip. My numbers consistently increased, but DM wouldn’t budge on certain scheduling requirements. I was very fair with my schedules, so i felt i was being micromanaged. I had little autonomy as i did before. I decided it wasn’t worth my sanity, so I stepped down.

- Hours are inconsistent and are often slashed across the board despite being “understaffed”. When they do this they’ll then constantly harass you to come in on your off days, stay late, and come in early. - Management breathes down your neck after asking you to complete multiple different tasks at the same time in different parts of the store completely. - Constant drama and gossip between managers certain coworkers. It’s like highschool but worse because most people are just trying to show up and get through their shift. - Offers “key holder” and “cash lead” positions which just mean extra responsibility, but they will not offer a raise with it. Upon declining the position, I just get constantly harassed by managers to do the extra work anyways with no compensation. - Extremely low hourly pay compared to the average rates of other employers. People at McDonald’s start out making $2 more per hour.
