Pros

WFH so you forget office culture and stick to them.

Cons

Worked at Victoria’s Secret, but turns out the real “secret” was how fake promises and favoritism run the place. Promotions? Oh, absolutely—they promise them faster than they deliver coffee. Actual delivery? Well, only if you’re fluent in the ancient art of bootlicking! Hierarchy? What’s that? It’s a free-for-all. No clear structure, zero accountability, and most people don’t even know what they’re working on or who they report to. It’s like a group project where no one read the assignment—but everyone thinks they’re the leader. And let’s not forget the cherry on top: after you leave, they ask you to pay extra for your own documents. Truly groundbreaking stuff. If you’re into confusion, false hope, and a work culture where mediocrity thrives as long as it’s loud—this is your dream company.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
