Pros

The discounts are alright, 30% off the products, and the store I worked at had sales competitions where you can win things like Starbucks gift cards and lotions. If you like scents and that kind of stuff, its a great place to work because you can really get to learn about the products there. They have goals set for you each day. At first I thought it was stupid, but for some reason, it made me work harder to complete those goals, even though there were no consequences or rewards for meeting them, but it helped you keep focus.

Cons

The hours suck. That was the biggest downside. They need to meet a certain number of employees. So I had 15 different co-workers...but I work once a week...sometimes every other week and they only schedule you for 3 hour shifts because they want you to be super energetic those three hours. And then they have these "on-calls" where its like every day, and you pretty much need to set those hours aside to call. 99% of the time, they don't need you to come in, but its a waste of time.

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

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
