Pros

It's really exciting when you engage with the customers and feel the excitement they have for the products. Especially when someone comes in with no idea what to buy and you help them pick out the perfect gift, whether it be for themselves or for someone else. Also, every one of the associates are all incredibly friendly and willing to help each other out, so there's never any drama going on. That helps a lot when it comes to floorsets too! They can be a little stressful at times, but when we're all having fun it goes by quickly and the store ends up looking beautiful! :)

Cons

There are a lot of associates, so one week you can have a lot of hours and then the next you can have a small amount. That's only for the beginning/end of seasonal though (Temporary employees).

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

We offer two fully remote weeks per year, in addition to three designated in‑person days.

Cons

The organization lacks a cohesive strategy and shows persistent resistance to change despite declining stock performance over the past several years. Our product and marketing efforts are no longer resonating with consumers, leadership effectiveness is inconsistent, and there are no defined career pathways for performers. Teams often work long hours due to constant rework and unclear direction. Firing the Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Merchandising Officer have been some of the few genuinely strong decisions. They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
