Bath & Body Works reviews

I worked in one of two of the Bath & Body Works stores at my local mall (the one in the older part of the mall). My manager let me go without officially stating that I was done. She stopped scheduling me but never explicitly told me I would not be back. When I asked for more hours after realizing she didn't schedule me for two weeks in a row, she said she'd call me if she needed more employees the next few weeks. And that was the last time I heard from her. Very unprofessional, in my opinion. If she needed to cut me from the team, I would have appreciated if she had just told me directly. Regardless, I'm sure it was for the best anyway. My co-workers were not very friendly to me, nor were they patient when I had questions about promotions or how to operate the cash register. I was often kept past my 8-hour shifts, and being the newbie that I was, I couldn't say no when they needed me to work an extra 1-2 hours, into the early hours of the next morning. It was a rough first job, especially as a college student. I would not recommend it.

HOLIDAY SEASON (you will rue Christmas), requesting a day off is rarely honored especially if you're requesting off on a holiday (at my store at least), floorset ("new theme updates"), ridiculous marketing updates/changes at close sometimes ("mid theme updates"), a lot of manual labor, average retail worker problems.
