Pros

Because it is a well-known fact that every position at Victoria's Secret is demanding and requires a lot of attention to detail, many other retail stores will see it as a definite plus on your resume, knowing full well that working at Victoria's Secret is a very difficult job to undertake.

Cons

There's an extremely high turnover rate, and as a result, they mass hire at a time so that new employees get very little hours or very bad hours (I once worked a shift from 4AM - 11AM). In addition, as I mentioned before, the job is very demanding and oftentimes thankless.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
