A company with an excellent top guy (Les), but the managers that report to him are clueless. I'm happy to be gone. - Anonymous employee L Brands Employee Review

Pros

Working in the HQ was great. A bright cheery atmosphere. The cafeteria food was the bomb.

Cons

Where to start: --Managers of departments get promoted to job clearly because of who they know, not what they know. --Problems in departments are often covered up and hidden from Les - if he really knew or was allowed to know the inner workings of some of his departments, he'd go nuts. --Having people in charge of millions of dollars and the don't have a college degree or even any relevant experience to do their job --Firing those who speak up about procedures that have proven time and time just not to work. --Allowing politics and well, politics to run rampant.

Pros

If you are smart and willing to do whatever it takes, you will get promoted. If you find the right mentor, your development will be a priority. If you love retail, this is the place for you.

Cons

Hope you get lucky with your manager and director and VP because if you end up in the wrong department on the wrong category, the environment is toxic.
