My managers and coworkers were amazing with me!! Also, the job wasn't super hard, and the customers were usually very understanding.

Advice

Working in retail isn’t as glamorous as working in higher paying jobs, but it is good experience. I learned a lot about working as a team and some great ways to interact with customers.

Top Seller

December 2017 • Bridgewater Township, NJ

What I liked

I love the fast paced environment and the satisfaction of being able to share my knowledge of body care and home fragrance with customers. It is so gratifying to be able to put my own personal knowledge to a practical use to help people find the perfect products or gifts.

What I wish was different

As with all customer service jobs, I wish there were not so many customers who are difficult to deal with.

Advice

It's not easy to get into the habit of selling, but you just have to remember that the easiest way to get started is to put yourself out there! It's okay to make mistakes and more often than not, customers won't remember if you get nervous and say something a little awkwardly.

Business Associate

August 2017 • Dillon, CO

What I liked

I loved being able to engage with customers and working alongside some very strong, intelligent business women. I learned a lot about being an employee and what it takes to make sales on and off the floor, as well as how that then translates to the business in general.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have been able to work more/longer. I really enjoyed this job and the people that I was learning from. I wish I would have been able to learn longer, but luckily for me, I will be returning to Bath and Body works over winter break.

Advice

My piece of advice would be to not be afraid to let go and really immerse yourself into a job. Ask questions, listen to your advisors/employees and learn something new every day. One of the only reasons why I loved this job so much is because I am constantly growing and learning in ways I never thought that I would.

Sales clerk

June - August 2019 • Kaneohe, HI

What I liked

I loved my co-workers and working in a very friendly environment

What I wish was different

The scheduling was horrible. I was completely available 6 days of the week, and had several weeks in which I only got scheduled to work 3 hours. There were several occasions when my shift got cancelled just hours before it was supposed to happen or my shift was cut short while I was there and I was sent home early for reasons that were not my fault.

Advice

Speak up EARLY if you have a problem.
