Fun, professional, great learning experience - Customer Sales Lead Bath & Body Works Employee Review

Fun co-workers and friendly management

Floor sets are long and late but easy hours Random hours

Working at the Home Office space in Columbus was a huge perk. Star Bucks and employee only healthcare services provided onsite. Rich culture that encourages being yourself and working hard through partnerships with other associates.

Learning & Development within Human Resources was a very ambiguous field to work in. Management left me chasing my tail and sent me down rabbit holes they later scolded me for pursuing. There was one instance where I had to update Onboarding materials, I was told to use a specific font and to reach out to Marketing to obtain the font. Marketing told me that font was retired and I could use a variety of other fonts. My Manager told me "no you're going to use that font," I had no access to that font and she would not do anything to help grant me access to that font, I needed Adobe Pro installed on my computer to obtain the retired font, and she did not approve the budget request for me to get it installed. I had to go through IT to obtain a work around that she did not help with at all. I'm not sure if it was a test or what in the world she was doing, but it was that kind of indirect, weird, almost non sequitur responses from her while trying to deal with a simple request of utilizing the correct font that continued while working with her. "What do you want to work on?" I would explain what I wanted to work on. "Well no, that wouldn't be good at all, that would be a complete waste of time." I had a stellar experience working with the Learning & Development team in the Distribution Centers for 2.5 years, but moving to the Home Office space was a complete 360, from comfort and encouragement, to ambiguity and cold shoulders from leadership.
