Pros

-Great Disount-- 30% at VS (even on Gift Cards!!) and a smaller discount at their sister stores -They were flexible with my scheduling needs: I was in college and was hired as a seasonal associate and I was always allowed to come back and work when I was on holiday from school, no questions asked. -I was trained in every section of the store, even stock, so it was easy to be of help to customers

Cons

-About 6 months after I got hired the store manager left and the culture completely changed: the new managers would literally lock themselves up in the office while 3 associates cleaned up and folded the WHOLE store. They refused to help and they didn't care if it would take us 3 hours. - When I was hired, I asked for $9/HR and was told that they could only offer me $8.25. Weeks later, a classmate of mine was hired and they gave her $9. She had no work experience (VS was her first job), while I had had quite a few jobs. I can only assume that race played a part in the pay as I am black and my friend was white.

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.
