Pros

The pay, especially for management, is higher than the competitors. Benefits are competitive. The employee discount its great (40%), and is valid at Victoria's Secret and the Pink store.

Cons

MId-level management is out of touch with in store experiences. Stores are expected to execute a high work load on a low amount of pay roll.

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 They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
