Pros

-Great Disount-- 30% at VS (even on Gift Cards!!) and a smaller discount at their sister stores -They were flexible with my scheduling needs: I was in college and was hired as a seasonal associate and I was always allowed to come back and work when I was on holiday from school, no questions asked. -I was trained in every section of the store, even stock, so it was easy to be of help to customers

Cons

-About 6 months after I got hired the store manager left and the culture completely changed: the new managers would literally lock themselves up in the office while 3 associates cleaned up and folded the WHOLE store. They refused to help and they didn't care if it would take us 3 hours. - When I was hired, I asked for $9/HR and was told that they could only offer me $8.25. Weeks later, a classmate of mine was hired and they gave her $9. She had no work experience (VS was her first job), while I had had quite a few jobs. I can only assume that race played a part in the pay as I am black and my friend was white.

Pros

I loved working here! Their management team was incredible, especially Megan Fairbarn. The whole team clearly set expectations and consistently provided positive reinforcement and encouragement to staff. The benefits were also great; the staff discount and free swag were a great bonus. I loved my time there.

Cons

The discount is limited to a certain number of uses per quarter, which is a bummer, but itis fairly fair. I believe you could use the full discount, like 10x/quarter, but I can't remember specifically. I also wish that they had a better call-out/write-up policy. I only called out once because I was sick and could get a doctor's note, but because no one could cover me, I got a write-up. If you get 3 write-ups in a certain amount of time, you get fired. I worked really hard while I was there, so I was sad to get a write-up. But I would still prefer that system to constant call-outs and staff issues, so it's really a toss-up.
