Pros
You get free stuff, so every time the company launches a new product, whether it's a bra or a new body product, you will usually get it for free. They do this so that you, as the associate, can try out the new product, and give feedback to either the company and/ or customers. The job is fairly easy, but it can get boring at times because there's not much to do and it's easy. In general, there's a good atmosphere. Customers that come into Victoria's Secret are often friendlier than customers you would find at K-Mart or other places.
Cons
You have to push the store credit card. A lot of customers come in wanting to just look around and not be bothered, so when you ask then if they want to apply for a credit card, the answer is almost always 'no.' But the company, and most definitely your managers, keep telling you to "sell credit!" So there have been times when a customer probably would have bought something but they left the store angry because I tried to get them to sign up for a credit card, or simply asked them if they needed help with anything. And a lot of gossip goes on between managers and even associates.
