Pros

Decent pay. Decent pay for Columbus Ohio.

Cons

There is no movie I’m enjoying watching more than Wexner, LBrands, Jeffrey Epstein. I’m a former employee who rather than being fired for low-performance (and I say that with humility, by their standards), I was bullied and shamed and pushed out of the company. I left peacefully, because I just wanted to move on with life, but now, I know, it was their culture of fear. And I love watching them become irrelevant and for those who had the strength to stand up to them. In Ohio, they’re everything. Outside of Ohio, they’re not considered an aspirational company.

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.
