Bath & Body Works reviews

Stuffy corporate culture Your team's culture and work-life balance will be determined by the manager/director/VP you end up with; there is a big variety in how this can end up. Discount is not that great Don't encourage or support career mobility to different parts of the business Quite stingy as a company in how they deal with and treat and spend on their associates

I worked in one of the highest volume stores in Austin, TX. There was clearly favoritism there. The seasonal employees are worked like dogs, used and abused. They do the grunt work while the favorites get to stand behind the register. The store is very busy around the holidays and there are a lot of throw away seasonal employees hired. The second they see you stop to take a breath, you get cut. I was given 8-9 hour shifts and they work you until they break you...I didn't get a break until 5 hours into my shift. At one point I had to ask permission to go to the bathroom. I was forewarned that the manager there was psychotic, but took the job anyway. In hindsight I should have listened to that other former employee.
