      Pros

      Great learning experience in one of the largest specialty retailers; some very good people working there.

      Cons

      Lack of work/life balance; lack of caring by upper management; lack of teamwork between groups; can encounter "boys club" in some areas.

      A good place to work if you're not concerned with recognition and work/life balance.

      Pros

      Overall the company is a leader in the retail industry and does many things very well. The store level leadership is strong and talented as are the senior leaders within the organization.

      Cons

      There is almost no work/life balance. While this normally would not be an issue for me the company tends to go out of the way to talk about work/life balance and then do nothing to back up the words. They are relatively generous with the amount of paid time off the allot their associates but it then give them a hard time when you try and take it. The issue lies within the middle managers, not the senior leadership. They need to either improve this culture or just stop talking about the work/life balance issue all together.

      Pros

      The best reason to work for limited brands is to enjoy the great discount. The clothing is great and it is a good way to establish a professional wardrobe at a steep discont.

      Cons

      No internal growth opportunity. The District Managers would rather keep members of management teams in a role that they have clearly outgrown then promote from within. Empty promises were often made to the management teams.
