Pros

- opportunities to move up based on good performance - lots of employee training and education - lots of gratis

Cons

- hours (not very flexible and often worked overtime- which is bad if you have a family or are going to school- good if you're looking to make more money) - pay for the amount of work they want from this position- it was basically being manager without the pay or title while management got away with doing less (at least in my experience). - retaliation was a problem at least within my store/district - meeting or exceeding sales goals never seemed to be good enough, district leaders often made you feel like you weren't good enough at your job.

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.
