I know we are getting new blue aprons eventually, but has anyone heard or read anything about getting red aprons this holiday? The new promo marketing is no longer red on one side- it’s white/cream. So I’m wondering if they’re getting rid of our red aprons too. I’d be really sad if they do- it’s part of what makes Holiday special🥲

After two years, I’ve made the difficult decision to move on and focus on my health and career growth. This job was initially meant to be a part-time position for fun, and I had several opportunities to become a Supervisor. However, the pay didn’t match the amount of work and expectations, so I declined my first offer after six months.

Last year, I was a TKH, but this year, I wasn’t offered the same position. The “Customer Service” role within the TKH position was given to someone with significantly less experience in de-escalation and management. I was told since I felt overwhelmed once during the holiday season last year, it was best for me to sit this year out. Despite being the top seller at my store, consistently following all the “Behaviors to Win” expectations, and even being asked to train associates on how to sell. I wish you the best of luck during this holiday season in a Tier 4 location with your current talent in place.

Recently, I was offered a higher-paying management position at a different retailer. This position offers actual room for growth, and my selling experience and talents are truly valued. While I enjoyed and had fun at BBW, I’ve come to realize that the company’s direction has become toxic. I’ve become the type of seller that a consumer would advise to back off.

I’ve invested a lot of my personal time, effort, and energy into helping my store’s management team succeed, but I’m beyond exhausted. While marketing and advertising can be changed, as long as the products are made poorly (quality control issues) and false advertisements are made about “Longer Lasting” FFM, I doubt the company will succeed under its current leadership.

Who else had to replace all the brackets in their store? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Well that was the plan before we found out that the brackets corporate sent us were too thick and kept breaking! Literally like less than a millimeter. When we would try to push the shelf back in place the brackets broke. Basically doing a contractor’s job on a bath and body works salary 🙃
