Leave After a Year... Seriously LEAVE!!! - Sales Associate Bath & Body Works Employee Review

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.

A lot of meetings. But being remote, it was nice to see faces throughout the day!

We offer two fully remote weeks per year, in addition to three designated in‑person days.

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 They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
