Terrible Incentive Program, Associate Treatment - Recensione dipendente - Retail Sales Associate presso Victoria's Secret

In other ways, the transition that the company is making is very poorly executed. Their idea is that they want a majority of their sales associates to go full time and make a career out of it by doing the incentive- but its very difficult to do when they cheat you out of annual raises, and moreover decrease the amount of incentive money you receive when you are paid more per hour. Essentially company wide expects associates to do $300/hour in order to get a small percentage of sales going back to you. The reality is even when you do achieve those goals, it shows up differently in varied mediums: You might have a $350 on your store's green screen, but have a $290 SPAH on BlueDay and returns count against you. It is essentially an uphill battle working and competing as if we were cut throat sales people when the possibility of making commission isn't even guaranteed on the thousands of dollars worth of mercy that we DO sell. Company is becoming greedy and treating associates unfairly by doing this- on top of that sexual harassment by customers and management turns a blind eye. Just waiting for someone to file a law suit and 80% of women ever employed by this company falling in line. The trade off is a cheap one, however appealing it is, and it is why VS has a high turnover and why new people will always want to work there. Discounts, gratis, and prestige. And in turn you get low wages, long hours, sexually harassed or physically assaulted (happened in my store once), and the constant, looming threat of termination if you don't make a certain amount of money for the company every hour on the hour, you can and will be terminated. Just horrible, VS. If you are going to expect this much from your associates, at least compensate them or let them defend themselves.
