Pros

Depending on your store Victoria's Secret can be a good place to work. You do get free bras and panties when a new line is launched and the people one works with can be fun. As a retail job, there are worse out there.

Cons

Victoria Secret needs some work on the corporate level. Hours are wasted doing meaningless floor sets to reorganize merchandise that was placed on the floor two week ago. Often times employees are not given real hours, but rather "on calls" where you could be working or you could not. This makes it hard to schedule your day if you have something else to do. Also if you need the hours they may not come through for you. The discount cannot be applied to sale or promotional items. Also you have to sell credit and get nothing for doing so except a pat on the back.

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.
