Interview
Applied to the Store Manager Position initially, but didn't receive a call back. Found out that they promoted from within for that position. I respect a company that promotes existing employees. After that position was filled an ad was placed for a Supervisor position so I applied for that also. I got a call back within a week and they set up a time and day for an interview. It was relaxed and comfortable. At the end of the interview she said she had more interviews to do but that she felt really good about it. I was so excited. I got a call back within a week saying that I was selected along with another candidate for a phone interview with another store manager. She was also nice but I felt like the questions that she asked me didn't really focus on the more important qualifications for the job such as team building, motivating associates, sales and ect. I was asked more about visual merchandising, and although I have had experience in that area in my previous jobs it isn't to the degree that they have at Bath and Body Works with floor sets and such. I don't feel it is an area that should disqualify me for the job since it is something that can be learned quite easily. The interviewer was also very preoccupied with her staff as they had come back to ask her several questions while she was on the phone with me. She asked me to hold a few times which made me lose my concentration and possibly hers as well. I didn't receive a call over the weekend so I called about the job the following Monday. The manager said that the other manager went with the second candidate based on the visual merchandising questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first interview was typical manager/supervisor questions. Such as Tell me about motivating your team? Tell me about how you have trained your staff?
The second interview was like she was picking questions at random with no rhyme or reason, I was asked..
"When have you had to move things around in your store based on a customers behavior?"
Although this question seems pretty easy, I believe it should be started with: "From a visual merchandising standpoint....." Otherwise it could mean for safety reasons or such which is how I took her to mean the question. Plus she had a kid that tore down a candle display and broke a bunch of them in her store right before she called me so that may have been why I thought of it from that standpoint.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works (Stratford, ON) in Apr 2026
Interview
One on one interview with manager. Basic questions, over all good experience but was ultimately ghosted so I don't recommend interviewing with them or working for them. Clearly they won't respect your time or effort.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bath & Body Works in Jun 2025
Interview
Interview was pushed back an hour, when arriving to the actual interview I had to wait almost half an hour. After the interview I followed up three times and was always met with empty promises to get a call back.
Moved fairly quick. Straight forward and candid. Came prepared to ask questions and with proper answers. Would recommend learning about the brand and come with an understanding of how to sell products to customers.
