Pros

Limited Brands offers great pay in comparison to other retailers of its caliber, and offers to good benefits only available to certain employees.

Cons

Limited Brands has high expectations but offers no means to be successful in those high expectations. As the brand manager at my store, my experience was that of an everyday work nightmare. Many nights are spent alone in the store until 3-4 am. There are often times when workers have 10-12 hour work days with little to no lunch break. I have seen the upper management belittle, torment, humiliate and bully the associates on a regular basis. I have also seen upper management force those associates with doctors notes for strep throat, and pneumonia to work and threaten them if they begged to go home. I have also been victim to harassment and bullying from the store manager, and the company tends to not listen to reports made to HR. Management tends to sit in the back most hours of the day and play on their phones, or take multiple smoke breaks and hour long lunches while failing to give the employees proper meal breaks.

Pros

High salary, national brand recognition, mostly pleasant people to work with. If a good salary is a payoff for emotional damage, then look no further.

Cons

Incredibly political environment. Management plays favorites and often excludes team members. Decisions are made without being fully thought out, constantly causing rework and faulty product. It's also incredibly difficult to trust anyone, as there is constant backstabbing in the office.

Pros

Bath and Body works is the leading body care provider. Product is fun and exciting and getting Gratis is awesome!

Cons

Company does not believe in developing its people. They hire and promote based on favoritism and politics. Their District and Regional staff is passive aggressive, condescending and does not live by the companies values.
