Bath & Body Works reviews

My first day on the floor, I got thrown into the front of the store with about 10 minutes of training prior. It was chaotic and I was expected to reach a sales goal and direct people to what they were looking for, even though it was my very first day and I didn't even know what all the products were! The headset was distracting and interrupted my conversations with customers. My first shift was 3 hours, and about 30 minutes of it was spent filling out paperwork. So I only spent about 2 1/2 hours on the floor. Right before my shift ended, my manager came up to me and said there were not enough sales with my name assigned, and asked how I was going to fix it. I found it very rude considering it was my first day, my first shift, I had minimal training, and I wasn't even fully aquatinted with the product to be able to help people in the first place! All management seems to care about is sales, not the customers or employees.

High turn over! (with field and upper management - regionals, DM’s, store managers, everyone), no hours for associates-they constantly get cut, no job security, promote customer focus, but really live tasking , not enough hours to get everything done and starting to get less hours for non selling tasks, time management is not the issue here!, High stress environment (including for our associates who get worked to the bone), coupon use is INSANE!!!
