Pros

Access to great products, Good discount 30% that extends to other stores in the Limited Brand. Victoria Secret, The Limited, etc. Pleasant decor and atmosphere.

Cons

Constant coaching can be a bit discouraging. Your suppose to have coaching moments several times a day with your Manager, to motivate you and show where you can improve. It can come across negatively if not done correctly. Demonstrating product can be a turn off to both customers and employees. A regular shift would usually be just one or two associates and a manager, which could be a little dull.

Pros

It's really exciting when you engage with the customers and feel the excitement they have for the products. Especially when someone comes in with no idea what to buy and you help them pick out the perfect gift, whether it be for themselves or for someone else. Also, every one of the associates are all incredibly friendly and willing to help each other out, so there's never any drama going on. That helps a lot when it comes to floorsets too! They can be a little stressful at times, but when we're all having fun it goes by quickly and the store ends up looking beautiful! :)

Cons

There are a lot of associates, so one week you can have a lot of hours and then the next you can have a small amount. That's only for the beginning/end of seasonal though (Temporary employees).

Pros

Management is the best I've ever seen. Everyone likes each other & work as a team.

Cons

Home office sends products they think we need not what we are out of. We could have make more sales during holiday if we had the products to sell.Because we are out of everything customers ask if we are going out of business. Had to put an 'out of order' sign at sink because we have no paper towels. During holidays we were out of tissue paper, ribbon, bags, & cello bags. This created a lot of unhappy customers.
