Bath & Body Works reviews

Not well stocked. In today's economy, people ask constantly if we're going out of business!! YIKES! If you are complimented over and over by customers, management and associates alike, no further reward is given than a pat on the back. Feedback on efficiency is taken as criticism rather than a contribution to help the team/store succeed. You're at the mercy of the management team to set skill levels for you, which in-turn affects the hours you receive. NO SENIORITY!! Patience (2yrs) and hard work does not pay off! Great customer service skills, being well-organized, having better product knowledge, having to "help" new hires, and volunteering for fun projects off the clock does not earn you anything. If you consider it dedication to the job in hopes that you'll get to work more or get to move up, you'll be sadly mistaken. The CSL's, Manager's and company will enjoy the benefits of your dedication while you get the same low pay (under $8, that's no typo!) and have to share hours with folks that lack customer service skills, can't recommend things, and leave things disorganized for the next shift. It's a bummer to love a job so much but be hindered by your superiors!

+almost NO hours +CALL INS- this is the biggest waste of time. You can't make any plans on days that you have scheduled call ins and then you need to call the store an hour before and see if they need you (they never need you when you haven't made plans and when you have plans they ALWAYS use your call in) +you really don't get paid much per hour and until you are a co or store manager you don't even get any benefits at all +you get forced to bombard people and get them to buy more stuff even if you hate having people do it to you +floorsets are a pain and your availability excludes them so you will still get scheduled for them even if you cannot work on sundays
