Pros

Every month there is Gratis which includes free products from pocketbac hand sanitizers to full size new release fragrances. When the store is busy it can be a lot of fun and depending on the store, there is a great team with a lot of comraderie. Plus your employee discount works at Victoria's Secret!

Cons

Promotions are based solely on favoritism and there is a huge high school clique feel there. The return policy can be difficult to work with without upsetting customers. Plus now they base hours solely on how many customers give your name at the register so it's like working commission for minimum wage. The politics suck.

Pros

Great brand to work for! Corporate leaders are great at motivating team down to associate level. (Not sure about Daniel yet though, I’m mostly referring to the tentured leadership team) There’s access to tools that offer clear communication (almost too much communication sometimes). Development is the core of this brand and managers are trained to foster internal talent when it’s identified. The product sold here is cherished by a huge fanbase as well- customers feed off of the excitement the associates have around the product.

Cons

Operationally demanding and challenging; don’t underestimate how much labor and planning goes into selling candles and lotion.
