Pros

There is great training for sales associates as well as managers. The detailed nature of the company is definitely geared to make every employee the best possible representation of Victoria's Secret Stores. The environment is friendly, much like a family; and everyone is there to work together as a team.

Cons

The pay in comparison to other retail stores is on the low end, high turnover rate, lots of no call no shows, doing no receipt returns & the difficulty of moving up in the company.

Pros

If your looking to get hired fast for quick cash, look into working for VS during the seasins. However, you must be eager to help customers and like handling the merchandise you are selling. Also, if you are looking for a career in sales, VS is a great place to start. You have a lot of opportunities to practice selling strategies and selling yourself.

Cons

The environment is very competitive for a position that does not offer comission. You are pressured by management to meet hourly sales goals, and having no commission makes you a little unmotivated.
