Pros

30% discount decent employees advancement possibilities

Cons

although most employees work part time the job is very stressfull, so u have to be able to handle stress well! you have to sell like crazy and also sign up ppl to credit cards.1st day no direction so basically u running around like a chicken with no head!theres always managers watching u, lookin to see if ur goin to steal r if u r not selling enuff. its like they want u to act like a damn cheerleader all the time which is difficult to do with hardly any breaks so by the end the day ur drained. point blank its a very difficult store to work at so if u have other store options try them 1st b4 goin 2 victoria secret u will regret it!

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
