Pros

You get to try the new products for free. Good discount of all limited brand stores ie: victoria secret, white barn candle co, bath and body works. They recognize a job well done and take care of their employees finacially if a disaster ever hit.

Cons

This place is VERY micromanaged! Its not always a bad thing but this was over board for me! Training is 6hrs of video watching and you get NO hands on experience. They expect you to know everything right away and it isnt possible from just watching a video! They had lots of on call shift which is a waist of my time and give out very little hours. Management is not very helpful when you have questions about something and co-workers are not too friendly.

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.
