Vantaggi
Great family of brands - though the sale of Express and Limited Stores shrunk the company significantly. Strong talent base and environment for learning. Generally proactive and competent management. Good employee training and development opportunites. A few years at Limited Brands makes you highly sought after from other companies.
Svantaggi
Compensation and benefits seem below average. Factors resulting in promotions are inconsistent across departments and managers. Bonus structure is below industry averages and merit increase differences between poor and high performers is small - making it difficult to increase salary to any meaningful extent. Organziation makes decisions through consencous making it frustrating at times to implement change. Company faces big challenges having saturated the US market with existing brands. International expansion or acquisition of a small brand to build are likely next steps.
