Victoria Secret??? Is it a good place to work for?

Question

I have an interview with Victoria Secret on Monday and have heard alot of bad things about the company.

Is it a bad place to work for?

I mean I have always LOVED LOVED LOVED the store and was so excited... but I am slightly hesitant due to the bad wraps it keeps getting.

Any info would be great. Any former employees or current?

Answer 1

well, the first two weeks, they limit you to like 6 hours which is total bs, but after that it gets slightly better. Although, usually, the newer you are, the less hours you get, which means not enough to pay the bills.

You usually get free lotions, and 30 percent off discount, and the managers are really cool. During Janurary and June, the two semi annual sales, those weeks are pure h**l. They make you work really obnoxious hours like from 12-5 AM, and then after that, your left doing NOTHING, since sales go down.

Overall, its pretty bad if you need money to pay bills. If your just looking for money to save up in the bank, and can only work a few hours, this place is great.

Answer 2

Some people like it, some people don't. I worked there for 6 months in college and got really tired of the hours and the management. The hours were not what I wanted to work and sometimes went later than expected, and then we hit February, which was a completely dead season after the busy holiday, so I was lucky to get 10 hours a week...not enough to pay the bills!!

The pay was NOT worth it for all the c**p we were made to do. The free stuff was the only perk of it, other than that, time would drag by while I was there and I just couldn't wait to get out...terrible job.

Answer 3

no way to tell unless you try it out!!!

good luck :D
