Victoria's Secret reviews

The pay is not fantastic. Although it is pretty standard for a retail store, the wages are relatively low for standard of living. The company is very good about giving you very small incremental raises over long periods of time. However, it is not easy to earn performance based bonuses or pay increases which takes away from performance incentives. There is also not much opportunity for advancement. Within a given Victoria;s Secret store, the highest position is store manager. There are also district and regional managers etc., however there is very little opportunity for advancement within the company from the stores. More opportunities exist from Victoria's Secret Direct.

With a staff of mostly females there is gossip. At my store there is a constant change in managment at least every year or so. The associates are treated very poorly, expecially people that have been there for a while. We are forced to push credit cards, and sales on customers, which eventually leads many of them to feel rushed, or like we only want their money (which I have been told by many customers who come back to see me). I was promoted but was paid the same as some associates if not less. Management if VERY poorly trained, where there is times associates know more about what is going on than management. As much as they say your hours are based on your performance, that isn't correct at all.
