Pros

It's amazing how many people have posted negative responses to this company for things that I can't imagine any retail company would let you do. VS gives a great associate discount, extra discounts for the holidays, a ridiculous amount of free stuff and $15 bras...The managers at this branch are fantastic and do let your know when you're doing a good job. I'm sure that, as in all retail jobs, experience varies location to location, but this is a GREAT location! There is pressure to sell credit cards but you learn your own limits and some people are just not gonna be as pushy as others...and ultimately this store's not gonna fire you just because you haven't sold enough credit cards. There are many other things that make you a great employee, and they recognize those too.

Cons

Random days are blacked out so that you can't ask for them off, which can be kind of terrible and annoying, especially since employees aren't told about them in advance. Call-ins are awful, but my last job had them too so maybe I've just gotten used to it.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
