Pros

Good discount (30%), but it's a better deal to wait for a sale, then use a coupon on top of the sale price. Some people are great to work with. Most customers are excited & in a good mood to shop in the store. My manager was very nice and professional. You sometimes get freebies or the opportunity to win products.

Cons

Irregular schedule. They are times you cannot take off work. Floorsets are sometimes long and tedious, but you are ususally expected to be there. The red tape created by a large corporation (HR dept) made it difficult for my manager to appropriately dicipline some employees.

Ridiculous...

Pros

Bath & Body Works does offer a generous discount to its sales associates, though they often run sales in which case the employee discount is useless and you receive the same price as the customer. It's a certainly a lovely store and smells divine and would be ideal for a person only looking to work about ten hours per week or less.

Cons

The issue that I had with Bath & Body Works is that the management was awful and very oppressive in a way... I was hired along with another girl and we were constantly berated about our appearances-- we weren't tan enough, our nail polish wasn't light enough, our hair wasn't blonde enough, etc. After about two month of being cut hours (one week I worked only four hours) I decided to put in my two weeks... This was the worst job experience of my life.
