Pros

When I first started and up until very recently I loved my job and had a very positive experience. Overall I would say this is a great job. Not very much fair offering of promotions to employees in my opinion. This is a very good job but I am starting to feel burned out from doing the same things for years. This is a good job if you want to work some place fun and bubbly. One great thing about working here is that they are VERY flexible and understanding with school, other jobs, and request for time off.

Cons

female dominated workplace can sometimes cause drama, low pay, easy to get burned out, gossiping , the occasional rude and condescending manager, politics of getting promoted/lack of opportunity for advancement. Again, I believe this to be conditional to the store as well as the district so depending on where you live your experience could be completely different.

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 They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
