Pros

Bath and Body works has a decent discount, great product and you will meet alot of different people. Good luck!

Cons

-Hardly any hours unless you are full-time management. You can request 10-15 hours a week but lucky if you get 3 hours which can be a 'call-in' shift. The 'call-in' shift or shifts don't really give an option for a life as you are supposed to call in an hour before your shift. This isn't too helpful if your shift isn't until 6pm. I will never understand the scheduling concept of this store. Why not hire 5 competent people rather than 15 to spread out over shifts? Makes no sense. -You are worked like a dog during your 3 hour shift and rarely praised. As explained above with the genius scheduling, you rarely have enough time to complete a task within the alotted timeframe because it's probably only you and a lead/manager working. Hopefully, you can mop a floor and clean a bathroom because that has to be done at least once a week. -Ever wonder how the store is set up? Guess what? That's you that gets to do that with very little time because it can't typically be done while customers are in the store. The floor sets can take you into the wee hours of the night, 1am or later. -If you enjoy mountain climbing this is the place for you to work. The stock room had tightly packed quarters which typically had you climbing up ladders, up a shelf and balancing between two moving shelves like an acrobat. -If you work the front of the store, be prepared to touch complete strangers with a hand messages so hopefully they will buy the lotion.

Pros

Great fun at store level, love the associates and customers. Product is nice.

Cons

No focus on personal success. Achievements are not recognized and sales plans are not developed accurately. You are held to unrealistic expectations. There is no line of support for anything!
