Bath & Body Works reviews

Very "inside the box" thinking. Strategies are too simple and repetitive. Too much pressure and emphasis on conversion, creates such a stressful environment when browsers shop or people walk in and out across the leaseline

Hours, hours, hours. I only got 8-12 hours a week here regardless of how much I was selling (I consistently doubled my sales goals). When I realized my paycheck would only come out to $50-$80 a week here, I quit and got a different job where I actually got real hours. Basically this is a company that hires many part-time employees and pays them horribly to save money instead of having 4 or 5 really great full time employees and having to give them benefits. Most of my coworkers had to have 1-2 other jobs even if they lived rent free. I had serious allergies while working here also, since you are constantly surrounded by artificial fragrances. The stock room was dangerous and disorganized. They spent more time teaching me how to deal with shoplifters than the benefits of their products and how to talk about them. One of the most atrocious things about this company is the "call-ins" where you are scheduled usually in the middle of the day (12-4 or 1-5)and you are to call the store an hour before the shift would start to see if they would even need you. If you weren't needed, you could go about your day. The problem was that I was scheduled so many call-ins that I could never make plans, but I was never actually called in to work. Not once.
