Pros

Friendly people and a caring atmosphere, Easy welcome video and one on one time with a manager during training, They make it easy to work there by giving you all the information you need to sell the products, High number of hours per week (I'm a student and I asked for 15-25 hours a week for summer. I almost always get at least 15, a lot of times the full 25 - with call-ins included)

Cons

Some "favoriting" between managers and sales associates. I quickly became a favorite because I worked my butt off and took other peoples' shifts. But there is a friendship between the managers and girls who have been there for years. Sometimes can feel like even though you're trying so hard, it's not good enough

Pros

You get a 30% discount and first dibs on new or sale items. You also get a 30% discount at Victoria's Secret because they're sister companies.

Cons

I'm sure it's different in other stores, but a lot of the other employees who had worked there longer were rude to the newer employees. Also, you don't get a lot of hours unless it's the semi-annual sale. If you're looking for a job with a lot of hours don't bother but if you just need something (very) part-time, it's not a bad place to work. One annoying thing is the "call-ins"--you're basically scheduled on certain days as if you're on call but they almost never use you, so you have to plan as if you're going to work.
