Pros

Free stuff. That was pretty much my only reason for staying with Victoria's Secret stores for so long.

Cons

The management was probably one of the biggest problems at the store I was employed. I felt unappreciated, unmotivated as well as unprepared to fully help the customers even after hours of training. Management seemed very annoyed whenever I approached them with any questions. Also, I was very frustrated that I had to trick people into signing up for the Victoria's Secret credit card (which is a bunch of crap) in order to keep my hours. Management based employee productivity entirely on the amount of credit cards sold- which makes zero sense since I never worked register; I would explain the "benefits" to a customer, the customer would think about it, then the girls at the register would get all the credit. 8.20 an hour isn't worth all the crap i had to put up with.

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.
