Pros

They get pretty busy during holiday season, which makes time go by quicker. The deals are great & you also get a discount in Victoria Secret.

Cons

The floor is really hard, not a good place to work if you have leg problems unless you have fantastic shoes.

Pros

Fun to meet new people

Cons

No one trains you direct sales tactics. They just throw you out on the sales floor then get angry when you don't know how to sell!

Pros

-Generally, great associates to work with, and the customers (depending on location) are pretty nice. -The discount isn't too bad; it's nice being able to use it at the store and at VS locations. -Easy. The training is awful, but as time goes on, you pick up on things fairly quickly. -Most managers are friendly and are willing to help you and are concerned about what is going on in your life.

Cons

-Call-ins. Everyone I have worked with, and myself included, hate the call-ins. Like many people have said, you really can't plan anything until you find our whether you're needed or not. It's annoying having to try to plan around them, especially if you find out you're not needed... the day is pretty much wasted. -The hours. Hours are pretty inconsistent and can range from having a ton (to the point where you don't have any time for social things or studying-like during the holidays) to almost none at all (during slow Winter months, like mid-January to March). -Floorsets. The set times to do these are just terrible. The hours may be good, yes, but it's long, hard work. Sometimes they are on certain days where it will clash with other things going on, like Superbowl Sunday and Christmas Eve. Many employees don't show up for the clashing nights, which makes them all the more difficult to complete them successfully and on time.
