Pros

If you are willing to learn about bras and panties and really pay attention to detail, this can be a great opportunity for you to grow and develop your sales abilities. This store is a lot more complex than most retail stores (i.e. you have to make sure you consistently complete all of your duties, meet sales goals, etc.). One of the best benefits of working at Victoria's Secret is that you get "gratises" every time a new product comes out (free/discounted item when it is first introduced).

Cons

The employees are not paid very much in general, and it takes forever to advance at the company.

Pros

Remote, work-life balance, easily post shifts and get vto if you want it

Cons

Hours fluctuate way too much, and repetitive, brainless type of calls. You're walked all over, and have to play stupid with customers because of their "assume good intent" policy, but WOW the amount of people who take advantage of this wild. You will see hundreds of dollars refunded on numerous back-to-back orders of the same person claiming they didn't get their package, or coupons and gift cards, nonstop, with customers always complaining. The complaints from customers still in store on their treatment from store managers and supervisors are shocking, I've had calls hearing those workers yellling at customers. The type of work and level of needing to play stupid is just not for me. I also didnt care for never getting a straight answer from managers, trainers, higher-ups. Everything is always beating around the bush. One time hours were cut back a lot, and they blamed the tariffs that the president imposed, which made no sense. Come to find out from a long-term employee that it was just the usual slow time. It's a weird work environment that you just can't take seriously. If you want remote work, take it for the experience on your resume, but move on.
