Pros

Listen. They pay you really well as management especially if you’re an ASM or higher. But you’re salaried. I understand that once you’re salaried it’s expected you work more than 40 but they really want you to be there like 50 hours or more. You get free stuff too. Free outfit once a quarter if you work for PINK and free panty monthly.

Cons

The hours are horrible. If we’re scheduled to leave at 530 let us go at 530 not 645. If you’re schedule until 8 we shouldn’t have to stay until 930. It’s ridiculous. You’re only supposed to work 1 close and one mid a week. But the store manager can go against company policy and make you work 4 nights a week it’s torture and hell. No work life balance.

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.
