Pros

Customer interactions Free outfit quarterly Meet new friends Learn business acumen Pay is great

Cons

Work life balance - you live and breathe Victoria’s Secret ; store managers make schedule to benefit themselves ; you only get ONE weekend off a month ; if you dare have an emergency or get sick be prepared for backlash ; work almost 45-50 hours weekly . If you’re in a store that gets visits from corporate all the time the expect you to stay until everything is perfect .. which is impossible. Work every single holiday . Employees- store teams and staff are all over 18 they act as though they are still in high school . Very immature and gossipy. Upper management shows no compassion to store team ... unless you cry all the time . Development -no training you’re expected to lead your own learning at all times even when thrown into a role . You can’t be yourself and be a leader at Victoria’s Secret you have to speak like them walk like them and have the same exact mindset .

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.
