Bath & Body Works reviews

Lack of hours (I was scheduled for 2 to 3 three hours shift per week, and I had open availability), low end of retail pay scale.

Hours! I have never seen so few hours at a retail job before! Even part time I was thinking maybe 20 hours per week....this is generally what I worked at other stores, and even more during the holidays. I get 6, maybe 10 at BBW. Basically you're working for the discount and a little cash to spend in the store. That said, with so few hours it's a great supplimentary job. It's easy to fit a few hours into almost any schedule in order to get a discount at a couple of rather pricey stores. I would enjoy keeping this job on the side if I were not seasonal. If you NEED a job and are expecting this to be your primary source of income, look elsewhere. This is not job for people who don't enjoy customer interaction! You have to be enthusiastic and upbeat. Some of the other reviewers don't seem to have the right kind of attitude for this job. If you aren't willing to greet, suggest, demo products, and help the customer to have a great shopping experience, then this is not the job for you. As a new employee I didn't feel prepared for my first floorset. Didn't know where anything was and felt overwhelmed. I was basically handed papers and had to figure it out. They aren't hard once you know what to do, but it would be nice if there was at least a short training period before you're thrown in...and this would benefit everyone else who wouldn't have to pick up slack for the new people or stop their own work to answer 100 questions.
