Pros

NOTHING! Not even the discount was worth it to me.

Cons

I hate retail because of Victoria's Secret. It was misery working here. The staff was rude, the management ruder, and the customers... oh dear... I honestly almost feel sympathetic for the customers. Being forced to HOUND them as soon as they walk through the darn door with talk about angel cards, promos, and following them around asking for the umpteenth time if they need help (they don't... trust me.) Long hours on your feet being talked down to by management and customers... and long hours folding panties/placing bras back on display for the HUNDREDTH TIME THAT DAY... oh my GOD. The breaks were too short, in my opinion, also. And the pay even worse.

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.
