  • Otterbein Advantage Scholarship: Associates, their spouses/domestic partners, and their dependent children can receive discounted tuition at Otterbein University, a private university in Westerville, Ohio.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Associates can receive up to $3,000 per calendar year for work-related undergraduate, graduate, or GED coursework.
  • Daily Pay: This service allows associates to access a portion of their earned wages before the scheduled payday.
  • Wellness Center: Located at the company’s Columbus headquarters, this full-service healthcare facility offers affordable and convenient medical and wellness services.
"Our associates are the soul of our company, and investing in their well-being is a top priority," says Gina Boswell, Bath & Body Works CEO. “We are committed to providing growth and development opportunities which give our associates what they need to be at their best both personally and professionally.
