      Challenging, good people, can be frustrating if you don't want to keep "getting to next"

      Pros

      I've met some wonderful people and learned quite a bit at my job. Pay and benefits are great, and work/life balance is something that the company strives for. Well-known brands, encouraged to find new and better ways to do things.

      Cons

      Change is constant, to the point where one wonders if any thought is being put in up front. It seems to be impossible for management to have tough conversations when someone isn't carrying their weight. Problems get swept under the rug instead of being addressed. Management is so distracted trying to make numbers look good to appease higher ups that they have no time for their teams and lose touch with what's going on. If you do not want to be in management, there are no career development programs to keep you engaged.

      Good, but not great

      Pros

      Generous cross-brand employee discount, generally nice folks in corporate office. If you work for a brand (Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works or Henri Bendel) there are great product perks and employee recognition. If you work for "the center" aka in a role that supports the entire enterprise, little to no recognition.

      Cons

      Slow to new ideas, behind in technology. I've worked in the corporate office and in the field. Two totally different cultures. Field lacks coordination, organization and retention. Corporate is is not open to new ideas or strategies. Both settings ask for a lot of work and overtime, salary is not worth it.
