Victoria's Secret reviews

Stunted innovation due to legacy technology. Some areas within the business are not as competitive as others but competition does occur depending on the department. Direction from upper management is not always based on knowledge inasmuch as it is more goal oriented and focused on short-range planning. Many very small decisions require the collaboration of several individuals which therefore requires an inordinate amount of meetings and discussions. The company is well known for the practice of hiring over-qualified people for lower-level positions which contributes to a general sense of dissatisfaction within the ranks.

The management on my team is atrocious. This place is a great example of just moving high performers into management without caring that many of them have no business managing people. It can be very cliquey, and managers care infinitely more about raising their own profiles than on managing and developing people. The internal transfer process is a joke because of certain managers, and it’s insulting when they use corporate buzzwords and when try to disguise their incessant micromanaging. They need to learn how to actually manage people, and to listen to hear rather than listen to respond.
