Pros

Great Pay, great benefits, great tools

Cons

High turn over! (with field and upper management - regionals, DM’s, store managers, everyone), no hours for associates-they constantly get cut, no job security, promote customer focus, but really live tasking , not enough hours to get everything done and starting to get less hours for non selling tasks, time management is not the issue here!, High stress environment (including for our associates who get worked to the bone), coupon use is INSANE!!!

Pros

Limited Brands offers great pay in comparison to other retailers of its caliber, and offers to good benefits only available to certain employees.

Cons

Limited Brands has high expectations but offers no means to be successful in those high expectations. As the brand manager at my store, my experience was that of an everyday work nightmare. Many nights are spent alone in the store until 3-4 am. There are often times when workers have 10-12 hour work days with little to no lunch break. I have seen the upper management belittle, torment, humiliate and bully the associates on a regular basis. I have also seen upper management force those associates with doctors notes for strep throat, and pneumonia to work and threaten them if they begged to go home. I have also been victim to harassment and bullying from the store manager, and the company tends to not listen to reports made to HR. Management tends to sit in the back most hours of the day and play on their phones, or take multiple smoke breaks and hour long lunches while failing to give the employees proper meal breaks.

Pros

High salary, national brand recognition, mostly pleasant people to work with. If a good salary is a payoff for emotional damage, then look no further.

Cons

Incredibly political environment. Management plays favorites and often excludes team members. Decisions are made without being fully thought out, constantly causing rework and faulty product. It's also incredibly difficult to trust anyone, as there is constant backstabbing in the office.
