Pros

The best reasons to work for Victoria's Secret Stores are the discounts, free merchandise, and pretty environment. Some of the customers are there on an almost daily basis and it's fun to talk to them and present the products. Getting to try out the new merchandise is fun and helpful in selling the merchandise.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Victoria's Secret Stores are having to force credit card sign and merchandise upon the customers without any extra compensation, management didn't appreciate the hard work that was put forward to meet their sales goals, having to pick up after some messy, inconsiderate customers. Many of the training sessions are a waste of time.

Pros

Remote, work-life balance, easily post shifts and get vto if you want it

Cons

Hours fluctuate way too much, and repetitive, brainless type of calls. You're walked all over, and have to play stupid with customers because of their "assume good intent" policy, but WOW the amount of people who take advantage of this wild. You will see hundreds of dollars refunded on numerous back-to-back orders of the same person claiming they didn't get their package, or coupons and gift cards, nonstop, with customers always complaining. The complaints from customers still in store on their treatment from store managers and supervisors are shocking, I've had calls hearing those workers yellling at customers. The type of work and level of needing to play stupid is just not for me. I also didnt care for never getting a straight answer from managers, trainers, higher-ups. Everything is always beating around the bush. One time hours were cut back a lot, and they blamed the tariffs that the president imposed, which made no sense. Come to find out from a long-term employee that it was just the usual slow time. It's a weird work environment that you just can't take seriously. If you want remote work, take it for the experience on your resume, but move on.
