Bath & Body Works reviews

The company is rooted in strong values and does a great job of keeping a customer first mindset. It is a fast-paced job, which is a pro during the slower season (see cons for the inverse). The theme of the store changes every 3-4 weeks, so you get a fresh take on your merchandise and the story you communicate to the customer. I often see these reviews tout the freebies you get, and while a nice perk, they are certainly not the reason people are sacrificing their weekends and family time. The people, the team, and the energy were the bigger draw and made the workplace special. The district leadership was particularly strong, and I felt part of a community of peers among the other stores. The company was usually ahead of the curve in terms of industry pay for part-time, hourly employees, which was beneficial for attracting and retaining talent. Inclusion and diversity were highlights, and I always felt like my team and I were a valued asset to the company. The company had a robust and comprehensive benefits package and paid vacation time (although caveats on when it can be used, given the nature of seasonal business). The executive leadership team spent time in the field. They made a point to get into the stores, to engage with the customer and team members, and see what was working and what wasn't at the ground level. As far as long term health of the company, I leave that for investors to decide; however, I hope the company's award winning customer service and level of engagement and one-on-one experience allow it to remain viable where other specialty retailers have stumbled or failed in recent years.

Great pay, flexible hours, friendly environment
