Pros

30% discount at all Limited Brands companies (bbw, vs, wcb). Gratis products.

Cons

ACES uses management's ratings of employees from 1 to 4 and provides hours depending on how management rates. Hardly ever receive hours. Some hours are taken away with less than a day's notice. Even if you volunteer for additional night hours, they won't award it to you. Management will end shifts early. Management comes and goes working hours as they please, even if they are not scheduled. At or below minimum wage pay. If you are not scheduled and miss a theme, management does not want to give you your gratis gifts.

Pros

We offer two fully remote weeks per year, in addition to three designated in‑person days.

Cons

The organization lacks a cohesive strategy and shows persistent resistance to change despite declining stock performance over the past several years. Our product and marketing efforts are no longer resonating with consumers, leadership effectiveness is inconsistent, and there are no defined career pathways for performers. Teams often work long hours due to constant rework and unclear direction. Firing the Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Merchandising Officer have been some of the few genuinely strong decisions. They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
