Pros

Discounts for Limited Brands stores. The store smelled nice.

Cons

Horrible mall, dangerous at night unless you are urban. Incompetent supervisors who were slobs and kept the back room a mess. No one ever called security when it was vital.

Pros

- I work with a great in-store team, from management to associates. - Bath and Body Works is a very fast-paced and energizing environment to be in. The store is continuously changing and improving upon itself. - Marketing and brand teams do a great job of mapping out the store and creating an environment that is visually pleasing to the customer, as well as making it easy for store teams to set up and stock.

Cons

- I feel that there is little room for growth and development in my store with management cut-backs and cancellation of store openings. - I feel that most hardwork goes unnoticed and is not appreciated. Our DM easily overlooks a neat and clean store because a WHITE wall or table has a scuff or black mark on it or a burnt out bulb was overlooked. - Reviews make it very difficult for employees to receive payraises that are based on merit and not on a cost of living increase. We were told by upper-level management (beyond the store) that it was "impossible" for associates to receive the highest rating on the review scale. While not everyone should be entitled to the highest raise within their position, I can name two sales associates, within my store, who deserved this raise, were intially going to be given it, and then their reviews were changed without them knowing it because of the "advice" of upper level management.
