Pros

*Company sends candy to appreciate associates *Scratch cards for doing well in a contest *Fun associates

Cons

*The pressure of this job is NOT worth the pay *Feels horrible to have to tell the associates the same thing a thousand times and pretend like its new information. "OK! lets focus on conversion!... "now last week we focused on conversion! But this week we will focus on conversion!... Alright guys! we need to bring up this conversion!" *Floor-sets on MANY major holidays (Christmas eve, Mothers day, super bowl Sunday) *Their "life-work balance" is an absolute lie. *Cheated out of breaks *The focus on conversion will make you hate children that come in with their parents (heaven forbid if someone has to run to their car for their coupons!) *You can do amazing at sales for months on end, but be burned at the stake for a bad week *Greatly un- accomplish-able goals. *Even if you are great... you are still bad at SOMETHING *One word. "Coaching" *Call in shifts

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 They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
