Not worth waking up for.

Pros

They give you a free bottle of lotion at orientation. The starting pay is decent for someone just starting out.

Cons

Even though you are hired thinking you're full time, they only schedule you for one 4 hour shift a week, sometimes skipping a week here and there.

Can be Great

Pros

Bath & Body is a fun and upbeat place to work. I worked here part time during all 4 years of college. As I used to tell customers, employees get paid to play in their favorite store all day. Management sets friendly competition between the different stores in the district, and there are rewards for exceeding sales plan.

Cons

Scheduling is based directly on your sales. High sales mean more hours. This is good for employees who are good at selling, but there's more than just selling to the business. There can be good cashiers and good replenishers who don't get scheduled because their sales aren't high enough (which is what happened to me). It's a catch 22 because low sales mean less hours, and with less hours, you have less opportunity to get your sales up.

Pros

Pay, full time hours, amazing products, potential of a great place to work if ran well, discount, talking with customers, experience

Cons

Manager was very critical in the name of “conversation sit down”, demeaning tone, unapologetic or willing to listen or take ownership herself, superior to others, twists your words for her agenda and to make you feel you did something wrong
