Pros

overall good experience. promoted consistently. poor work life balance. due more with less mentality many companies going towards. most postings on retail positions seem consistently same issues. it is retail lots of weekends. i love the products and believe the brand trys very hard to develop great products, train managers and associates to focus on a great customer experience. you must sell,sell, sell. numbers are everything, but then it is sales. no one wants to loose money whatever the business is. i would recommend victoria's secret to others interested in a career. but be prepared to work alot, especially weekends. some bosses are better than others. thats just life everywhere.

Cons

not enough work life balance. sell alot. is it ever as good as it could be? weekends... late nights...pay scale distorted.. internal promotions make less than external promotions.

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.
