Pros

Most of my coworkers were amazing, fun people to work with. I love all of the products especially the candles, which makes selling to customers easy since the enthusiasm is real.

Cons

At the holidays I had requested a full week off around Christmas. Right before, they told me I was going to have to come in for Floor Set on Christmas Eve which I told them I was not going to since I had requested and approved my time off way before. After the holidays were over, they took away most of my hours because I wasn't "committed enough". This was supposed to be a part-time job for me while I was in college, but any time like this where I did not prioritize the store before anything else I was punished for it. The manager also did not notify me of this schedule change - I just came back from holidays and I did not get scheduled for weeks except for Floor Sets until I went to speak to the manager myself.

Pros

I previously worked in the field (for a different brand) and we were always so weary of corporate teams coming into the stores. However, the corporate team at Bath & Body Works is absolutely incredible, supportive, and does everything they can to advocate for the stores. The entire Store Ops team is full of people who care deeply about the brand, the store associates, and the customer.

Cons

A lot of meetings. But being remote, it was nice to see faces throughout the day!

Pros

Great brand to work for! Corporate leaders are great at motivating team down to associate level. (Not sure about Daniel yet though, I’m mostly referring to the tentured leadership team) There’s access to tools that offer clear communication (almost too much communication sometimes). Development is the core of this brand and managers are trained to foster internal talent when it’s identified. The product sold here is cherished by a huge fanbase as well- customers feed off of the excitement the associates have around the product.

Cons

Operationally demanding and challenging; don’t underestimate how much labor and planning goes into selling candles and lotion.
