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

The benefits package was incredible, and VSD doesn't discriminate against anyone... even pregnant new hires looking for maternity leave and benefits.

Cons

The verbal abuse from the "clients" was terrible and I spun into a depression working there. Expect to deal with perverts and very, very cranky customers on an hourly basis. The company did what it could to offset some of the difficult calls but truly it wasn't nearly enough. The company is very stingy with paid time off; only offering 17 days per year and nearly half of the year is "blacked out" meaning you can't take any time off. The company also schedules you regularly on your "days off." Many of the employees are severly overweight because you're sitting still for 9+ hours a day, and the company offers no healthy alternatives whatsoever: no gym, no free time to workout, and definitely limited healthy choices in the cafeteria. In short, I didn't enjoy working here one bit.
