Victoria's Secret Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"It is a great company to work for, but this location does not provide a lot of room for growth and has a lot to do as far as growing the sales of the company. Theft is prominent in this location and with no cameras or security and only two people working every two hours, it is impossible to stay on top of this problem."

"I worked for Victoria's Secret for a little over a year. It was just a part time job to keep some money in my pocket during college. The environment was decent. I really don't have any complaints on the company."

"Working here provides a very comfortable and flexible work environment as well as lots of chances to work with great people and learn a lot."

"The company as a whole was one that I enjoyed working for. Specifically at the Gardens mall there were a lot of attitudes of entitlement within the management team."

"Victoria Secret is a great company to work for. However, I have found that they do not pay their supervisors what I think they should be compensated."

"Don't be sad about not getting promoted if you don't plan on VS being a career."

What do you like about working at Victoria's Secret?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"It isn't very hard to get a job at VS for a part-time position, just being honest, all you need are good references. If you want a promotion, however, you need to prove yourself and not just expect it to be given to you based on seniority. Some managers play favorites, just the way it is, and the only thing you can do is to try and out perform the other candidates and have a good attitude."

What don't you like about working at Victoria's Secret?

"I've worked at 2 different stores, and management was very different in each store. I feel like the managers at higher volume stores have an attitude and act like they are better than everyone else because they manage such a large store, and it translates into the way they treat their part time associates. Managers at lower volume stores seem to be more down-to-earth and understanding of their employees needs and promotions seem to come easier."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Managers of larger stores need to realize that they are not such hot stuff and that they should treat their employees with respect, as they are 90% of their workforce. Promotions from within should be considered before outside hiring and should be based off of merit and not personal favorites."

What don't you like about working at Victoria's Secret?

"Having to keep track of every single product we sell even though we don't get commission, it's pointless and tedious. Upper Management personally attacks employees and makes them feel bad when sales goals aren't being made, hard to get recognition when you know you've done a good job or are working really hard. Hard to move up in position unless you're a favorite of the managers."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Upper management shouldn't blame a slow business day solely on the sales associates, it's unfair and not always in our control. Don't force us to basically assault customers and smother them during their entire experience, this tactic DOES NOT WORK, they always leave the store cuz they feel uncomfortable, like we are stalking them. Be more constructive rather than condescending."
