Bath & Body Works
Fun and you always smell good
CUSTOMER SALES LEAD (Former Employee) – Pittsburg, KS – April 4, 2018
Bath and Body was a great place to learn how to sell product, develop extraordinary customer service, and how to multi-task. It's a great job for extra money.
Pros
Discounts on products
Cons
weekends and holidays
Stressful
Key Holder/Lead Cashier (Former Employee) – Towson, MD – April 3, 2018
Working at BBW requires a lot of unexpected mental and physical strength. The discount is a perk, but it's not even applicable most of the time. This job is fun for a part-time fling, but do not take on a management position!
Great place to shop at, not so much to work at
Lead Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Miami, FL – April 3, 2018
Unless you’re a top seller or keyholder, be prepared to be broke most of the time. Most associates get 20 hours or less a week. Also be prepared for a lot of paper cuts. Watch out for the hand sanitizers
Great job!
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Frisco, TX – April 2, 2018
I worked seasonal for three years when I came home from school. Amazing environment, friendly staff, fast paced work environment, discounts. Met amazing people there still have friendships with co-workers. Only reason I left was because I was taking summer courses at my college, and the managers had changed. Great pay for a part time college student job. Worked great with my schedule, able to pick up more shift if wanted. I truly enjoyed going into work every day no matter what shift it was.
Pros
gratis, great management, fun environment
Cons
On your feet all day (get good shoes)
Fun work environment
Stock Associate, Cashier, Part-Time (Former Employee) – Fayetteville, AR – April 2, 2018
Fun place to work part time, no real opportunity for advancement unless you would like to pursue management. you are often looked over for advancement as they already have someone preferred for the position.
Retail Associate
Customer Sales Lead (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – April 2, 2018
Help customers with products. Merchandise. Keep the store clean. Learn how to give excellent customer experience. Management was decent. I was there for 5 years had 4 managers. Moving up can be challenging but doable over time and commitment.
It changed over time
Sales Associate/Cashier (Former Employee) – Lakewood, CO – April 2, 2018
I was there for two years and when I first started, it was really great! However, as time went on, new stricter policies were introduced and management became very strict, at both locations I worked at. It made a fun place to go to feel more like work, and ultimately I don't like when work feels like work.
Productive yet unorganized
Crew Member (Former Employee) – Huber Heights, OH – April 1, 2018
Great people. A little unorganized for my liking. I don’t know how management is now but when I worked there it wasn’t the best. They either have you a bunch of hours or none at all.
Lack of hours
Sale Associate/ Cashier (Former Employee) – Willow Grove, PA – April 1, 2018
They don't want to give you ANY hours unless you kiss their butts... they want you to slave for them in order to see some type of hours. In yet they don't want to give overtime and they don't want to make anyone other then management full time so they don't have to give you benefits.
Hectic at times but worth it.
Stocker (Former Employee) – Greensboro, NC – March 31, 2018
I worked there as a seasonal stocker and I really liked it. I didn't have to directly interact with costumes and the staff there were all really friendly as well. There were days that it got a little cramped and hectic but it kept me busy, which I liked. Plus the manager was honest and fair and I got a fair amount of money out of it.
Pros
You get to go out for lunch so long as your back in an hour, Mostly friendly staff, Stocking is pretty quiet behind the scenes, Training available
Cons
Short breaks, Can get hectic on days that have sales
Overall Moderate
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Wellington, FL – March 30, 2018
The job was a fast paced environment that took place during the season so the training was quick. Everything that was taught was simple but a lot to do.
Pros
Discounts, People
Cons
Short Breaks, Not enough hours
Great and relaxing
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Burnsville, MN – March 30, 2018
Working at Bath and Body Works is great. The managers are flexible, especially with part-time workers. You are working with people who genuinely care about you and there is usually nothing but smiles in the store. A great place to work.
Awesome place to smell
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Gallup, NM – March 30, 2018
