Pros

15 minute breaks, they gave awards at store meetings, they quickly give greater responsibility to those who demonstrate they are willing to fully commit to the (sometimes extreme) enthusiasm the role requires.

Cons

They force you to wait to leave until someone is ready to check your bag, long hours on a very hard floor (no mats or carpet for worker's well-being), split shifts, short hours, no flexibility of schedule, managers are always changing locations, there is a ton of product waste when new packaging comes out (product is destroyed), really loud and hectic walkie talkie system.

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.
