Pros

It was a nice place to work because the stress levels are not very high. Most supervisors were fair and knowledgeable. They were also always willing to help. They did not seem to think less of their employees and listened to their opinions. They pay you based upon your experience in customer service (instead of just saying everyone's at minimum wage), and your hours depend upon your performance so if you work hard, you'll get more hours.

Cons

There is no "real" way of moving up. The longer you've been there, the more of a chance you have of being promoted when promotions become available, which is not often. Sometimes you are given tasks that do not seem to serve any purpose other than busy work, which can get frustrating. Floor sets are horrible (random overnight shifts when the entire store is reorganized).

Pros

I previously worked in the field (for a different brand) and we were always so weary of corporate teams coming into the stores. However, the corporate team at Bath & Body Works is absolutely incredible, supportive, and does everything they can to advocate for the stores. The entire Store Ops team is full of people who care deeply about the brand, the store associates, and the customer.

Cons

A lot of meetings. But being remote, it was nice to see faces throughout the day!

Pros

We offer two fully remote weeks per year, in addition to three designated in‑person days.

Cons

The organization lacks a cohesive strategy and shows persistent resistance to change despite declining stock performance over the past several years. Our product and marketing efforts are no longer resonating with consumers, leadership effectiveness is inconsistent, and there are no defined career pathways for performers. Teams often work long hours due to constant rework and unclear direction. Firing the Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Merchandising Officer have been some of the few genuinely strong decisions. They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
