Pros

They tried to do some basic training when you first start.

Cons

Don't work here if you ever plan on applying here. Management is horrible, and they give their staff no respect at all. The managers appear to be nice but are controlling, bossy and pushy. They are the true definitions of "two faced". Not only does management disrespect staff, they also argue to each other over headsets etc. I've worked there for only 1 month and have encountered 2 arguments between managers. Every time I walk into work, I feel pressured and scared because I am afraid I will get reprimanded for not 'doing something'. Also, they talk badly about you in your face to other managers - going back to the whole 'disrespect' aspect of it. Not only that, but they barely give any shifts to you and mostly place you on "On Call" shifts, therefore ruining your day plans all together. I am not saying that ALL Bath and Body Works are like this, but I advise that you apply elsewhere and definitely not THIS location.

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 They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
