      Pros

      Bright and attractive work environment, nice smelling, periodic freebie samples, flexible schedule, nice management at my location, employee discount at Bath and Body Works as well as Victoria Secret.

      Cons

      Minimum wage no matter how much experience one has. They just need to fill a position and there is no negotiation re pay.

      Not a bad place if you only want 3 hours a week.

      Pros

      1. Great people to work with. 2. Positive management-quick to praise if you do something right 3. Above average pay. 4. The customers are usually pretty nice.

      Cons

      1. The entire summer I averaged 3 hours a week. I was told by several employees you HAVE to have another job beside Bath and Body Works. 2. On-Call sucks. It's impossible to schedule things with family and friends because you never know when you have to work. Overall working for bath and body works was a good experience. The people were friendly. Just be sure to have another job to balance out the crappy hours.

      Pros

      - Not a whole lot of hours - the perfect job to fill in the gaps. - Scheduling is extremely flexible - work around your full time job or classes. - Lots of contests and gratis gifts. I've only been here four months, and I've scored a very respectable amount of swag. - Tap the tester bottles whenever you want. My hands are so insanely soft, because I'm always putting on different lotions while I'm at work. - Super-friendly, vibrant co-workers... my co-workers are my favourite part of this job. - Inside scoop of what is going on sale (first dibs at Semi-Annual Sales! YES!!) - You ARE recognized for good sales - at least at my store! - Discount is usable at any Limited Brands store (such as Victoria's Secret). - Pay is electronic - either by direct deposit, or on a store-issued debit card. Fancy! - You have the option to have your W2 issued electronically. - If there's an emergency or scheduling conflict, there's almost always someone to cover your shift. Just ask well in advance, and don't abuse it!

      Cons

      - Not a lot of hours - hourly associate work can't be your primary source of income. - Minimum wage. I'd think this company could afford at least a quarter more on the hour. - Sales volume varies greatly. Some days are so busy that you don't get a chance to take your break. Other days are so slow that you want to break something, just to have something to do... you usually get to go home early on those days, but that does tend to cut into your paycheck. - 30% regular employee discount isn't all that great in-store - I've never used mine, because public promotions are almost always the better deal. I haven't went to VS to see if it's worth the bother there, though. - Shoplifting is a huge problem, so you are rather expected to hawk over customers. It's really awkward sometimes. - This hasn't happened in my region, as all of our stores have great communication, but I have heard shopping anywhere but your home store can be a BATTLE in some areas. (I avoid this by calling ahead to the other stores to let them know I'm dropping in to shop.)
