Pros

The 30% BBW and 20% VS discount. Working with peers, people you can relate to and become good friends with. Gratis. (Free stuff)

Cons

Managers and CSL's get away with EVERYTHING. One night, the CSL sat in the back all night and I was the only one on the floor, made the segment all by myself in 40 minutes, and all she said was "I owe you starbucks". (Which I never got) Call ins (Usually the only hours you get, unless you are a favorite) For all the hassling of customers and pushing we do, there should be some sort of commission or incentives for associates. LOW pay. Minimum wage. For me, no hours during the week (except maybe a call in) and then my Saturdays have one long shift, and friday and Sunday, both call ins. Going to school during the week, this really makes me have NO life what so ever. FLOORSETS!!!! Always scheduled til 12, never leave before 2 am. On Sundays. Even if you don't have "overnight" availability.

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.
