Pros

Other associates are amazing. After working with the comany for four years, I've met some of the best people ever. They're like family. The free merch. every couple months is nice.

Cons

It is almost impossible to move up. There is no recognition for great work. Management is constantly lying. When your store manager has never had a boyfriend and has been spoiled her entire life, work can be miserable. Pay is only a couple cents more than minimum wage. On call shifts ruin personal lives. Constant huffing and puffing from management when someone needs to take a break or use the restroom. You get so many responsibilities and not enough time to do any of them, THEN get yelled at when nothing is done. You have to be nice to rude, catty customers who feel like they need a massage or foot rub from every associate just because they stepped into the store for a free panty AND NOTHING ELSE. Women want to return bras a year old after they've fallen apart from being worn and washed everyday. Management is almost happy to see tenured associates leave. It really is like the movie "Mean girls." I'm a sweet girl so working with managers who tell me to "get a backbone" was constantly a struggle. No one cares about family issues or personal problems. Management talks bad about associates even to district managers.

Pros

upbeat atmosphere great gratis in-brand discounts joy of helping people find things that make them feel sexy/pretty in-store discount lots of hours available

Cons

on call! shrink suspicion angel card-- in a poor economy, no one wants to open a high APR credit card, even with the great perks we offer!! scheduling-- one week, I would have 34 hours (as a part time associate), then next I would have 2 or 3 on calls (with one call in) and 3 scheduled hours
