Bath & Body Works reviews

If there are no customers in the store, it is extremely boring and all you do is straighten the rows of products. There were no benefits for part-time employees at all except free samples on occasion. The two managers I worked under were passionate about their jobs, but not very competent. That job convinced me I needed a college degree so I wouldn't have to stock shelves for the rest of my life.

As a store manager, I was getting paid $55,000 a year to ring on a register for about 6-7 hours a day. The other 2-3 hours I was stocking shelves. It was usually myself with just 1 other person in the whole store. No time to analyze the business or train and develop my employees. There was not enough payroll to keep the store well stocked, organized, and clean. Most of the employees, including myself, worked constantly at a fast pace, however, it was impossible to run that store up to standard with such little payroll hours allotted. As the store manager, I had to create the schedule. During the holidays, with more than 100 part time employees, the schedule could take me up to 6 hours to complete which I had to do on my day off.
