Degrading - Recensione dipendente - Seasonal Sales Associate presso Victoria's Secret

When I first started my role as a ‘Seasonal associate’ I was very excited as the interview made the company sound so amazing to work for. We where given one day of training consisting of videos and slide shows about the company policies and different products within the store etc. Several days later I was thrown on to the shop floor and expected to remember everything and perform every given task from then on perfectly and if I dared ask for help off any management, I was made to feel completely stupid. I was stood folding ‘panties’ for 6 hours completely overwhelmed and lost as not one member of management approached me to welcome me or tell me what to do. The majority of the regular staff and some members of management where pleasant, however certain members of management I feel behaved completely unprofessional often went out of their way to make us seasonal associates feel unwanted, inferior and unimportant. The staffroom was extremely frosty and people would intentionally not involve us seasonal employees in conversation. Certain members of management didn’t even bother to learn my name throughout my whole time there, I have never felt so inferior in a workplace as I did here and it has sadly damaged mine a few other girls’ confidence. I witnessed management screaming at staff behind cash wrap in front of customers and heard management bad mouth certain employees, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I am sure Victoria's Secret itself is a fabulous company to work for in other stores, it is just unfortunate that my experience was so degrading.
