Pros

Average merchandise discount and benefits. Pay is decent. Good working environment (if you like Boca) and facilities.

Cons

Staff is all smiles and appear polite but in reality are very gossipy, catty, insecure and ultimately unprofessional and disrespectful. The overall vibe I got was unpleasant. Management is incompetent and not very knowledgeable. In addition, very gossipy (that's where it starts and trickles down.) The quality of your work is less important than how you fit into their (think inside-the-box) corporate mindset. Overall, if you are a competent, knowledgeable professional in your field, do not work here. You will not be appreciated unless you come from Victoria's Secret whom they are competing with (they will use you to obtain vendor contacts.)

Cons

- Management's approach to handling employees lacks empathy and professionalism. - Incompetent CSR manager who micromanages and fosters a toxic work environment. - Lack of proper training and support for new hires, leading to dependency on colleagues. - PTO allocation is unfair for employees hired mid-fiscal year. - Public scolding and bullying for minor infractions like bathroom breaks. - Micromanagement is rampant, with redundant layers of oversight. - Medical emergencies are met with insensitivity and disregard for employee well-being. - Continuous monitoring during customer calls creates undue stress and hampers performance.
