Pros

-The 30% Discount can be applied to any purchase. And you can get a discount at sister companies Victoria's Secret and The Limited

Cons

Hours are determined by the amount your store sells. This company is constantly about employees making sales, even though it's not commission. Doesn't care much about the employees. You'll only get hours if you're one of management's "favorites". I worked there for a couple of months, and wouldn't be in store for two or three weeks at a time because I wasn't on the elite list. Sometimes your shifts are cancelled and given to others...becuase they are favorites. Call Ins--tenative shifts...you have to call two hours before the shift to see if you're needed...hence you can't plan anything ahead of time. They also take everything they have out of you physically, with constant floor changes and set ups, that can go until dawn.

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
