Pros

Free and discounted lingerie, possibility of making commission, good discount, bragging rights of "I work at Victoria's secret!" Good trainings on bras

Cons

Micromanaging. Managers came by every single hour to tell you what your sales were for that hour and interrogate you in what you can do to raise those. Possible termination from inability to make $300/hr sales goal. Also, no commission unless you make it to the $300/hr mark for every hour worked in a month. Denied requests off, regularly stayed until 2 am folding panties.

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.
