Pros

discount, learning about an exciting brand that is growing, sales education which will be helpful in other positions, the friends that you make

Cons

long hours around the busier times of year, it is a little unfair in the way in which promotions are given like sometimes you don't feel considered regardless of good performance and how much effort you put forth, also new associates are usually given higher starting wages than veteran associates because the yearly raise is usually a max of 4% yet they increase their new hires wages by more than that. You start to feel jipped after being there for a long time

Pros

Compensation. At the management level, it's the best in the industry. Also, when you do travel for work, they treat you like royalty.

Cons

The sales associates are not well paid, and thus, you get what you pay for. It's hard to get associates that actually care and are there to perform, not just collect a check.

Pros

Every time time a new bra or fragrance comes out, the employees get a free one! The employee discount is great at Victoria's Secret and also at the cross-brand companies (Bath & Body Works, Henry Bendell, and Biglow). Also, it is a great place to work to learn about corporate business, design/planning, sales, and customer service. The managers are great at coaching and keeping the sales associates informed about how business is doing and updates with the company.

Cons

Part time sales positions do not get many benefits as far as health, PTO, 401K, etc. and VS tries to have more part time positions than full time.
