I worked at Limited Brands

Pros – I loved working here in high school! I was able to get a generous discount on all of my favorite clothes. I learned to become more outgoing being constantly interacting with new people and customers. I would highly reccommend working here is you are first time job hunting.

Cons – I had to work late sometimes if another associate called in sick.

Advice to Senior Management – Store managers should be more strict regarding no show employees.

I have been working at Limited Brands

Pros – I worked alongside a very young, energetic group of employees. Everybody worked hard while at the office and enjoyed relaxed Fridays in the summer (half days). The internship taught me a ton about my division and the other employees were especially willing to help when I had any questions, concerns, suggestions etc. I was really surprised with how much they "cared" about an intern!

We also had quite a bit of exposure to high level executives (I knew the VP of my division on a first name basis)

Cons – Columbus Ohio is not the most exciting city. Also, certain divisions of LimitedBrands (not mine) carried stigmas such as cutthroat, boring, or tedious.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the internship program. There is no better way to test out new talent than trying them for 3 months in the summer!

Pros – One of the top companies to work for.
The company encourages you to be interested in other functions of the company and has programs in place for you to job shadow.
Very good benefits.
Good discount (as home office employee).

Cons – Compensation is lower than I would have preferred, but competitive none the less.
I can't really think of anything else, the company's that good.

Advice to Senior Management – You're doing well so far. Keep listening to your employees regarding their desires to move to different positions in the company.

I worked at Limited Brands

Pros – Did project work and learned a lot during my time there. If you find a supporter in senior management your career takes off. Unfortunately for most people it's the opposite.

Cons – A case of who you know, not what you know. Saw a lot of people promoted and fast tracked through because they had someone in upper management "walking" them through the ranks.
Operates on the "good ole boy" network. Not as diverse as they talk themselves up to be.

Advice to Senior Management – People should be recognized for the work they do. You claim that your people resources are very important to your success, so make them feel that way. Open and fair communication practices would also be nice.
