Pros

Very flexible scheduling which is perfect for students. Used to give lots of gratis (freebies). 30% employee discount at BBW, White Barn, Victoria Secret (extra 10% during the holidays for a limited time). Most coworkers are amazing. Excellent experience for customer service and time management.

Cons

Hours are given to top sellers only. Often short staffed and will be playing several roles. Several cut shifts which are often last minute. Typical retail holiday hours (crazy 6pm-2 am) during Thanksgiving- Black Friday. Company is VERY money centered. Fragrances are OFTEN recycled or slightly "spruced" up and associates are supposed to support/fake it's new-ness.

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
