Pros

You get a 30% discount and first dibs on new or sale items. You also get a 30% discount at Victoria's Secret because they're sister companies.

Cons

I'm sure it's different in other stores, but a lot of the other employees who had worked there longer were rude to the newer employees. Also, you don't get a lot of hours unless it's the semi-annual sale. If you're looking for a job with a lot of hours don't bother but if you just need something (very) part-time, it's not a bad place to work. One annoying thing is the "call-ins"--you're basically scheduled on certain days as if you're on call but they almost never use you, so you have to plan as if you're going to work.

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.
