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

The discount and gratis are amazing. Most people who work there love to shop there so it is definitely a big pro.

Cons

When you first start you do not get a lot of hours. You're lucky to get one 4 hour shift and maybe a few oncall shifts where they may or may not have you come in. This gets frustrating, but it really helps them determine who the hard workers are. Stick with it for a month and if you show management that you are hard worker you'll start getting more hours.
