  (#4) Workers Are Often Subject To Harassment

  One of the worst things about working at Victoria's Secret is the harassment. Multiple former employees say they constantly faced sexual harassment, and that management forced them to grin and bear it. According to one employee:

  One time, a 14-year-old boy who could barely see over the cash wrap informed me he wanted to buy lingerie for his 'future wife' because I looked just like her. Meanwhile, his friend was hiding behind the panty bar filming it on an iPhone. They thought they were hilarious.

  (#11) Employees Are Encouraged To Look A Certain Way

  Victoria’s Secret wants customers to look their best, so it’s no surprise VS employees are always looking sharp. But those appearances are company mandated; it’s not a coincidence that everyone looks good.

  Employees are required to have their hair and makeup done nicely, and the all-black outfits are standard. Most companies want employees to present themselves neatly, but Victoria’s Secret goes a step further. Some even claim that VS only hires people deemed attractive enough.

  (#14) Employees Treat Male Customers Differently

  Female customers often have ideas about what to shop for when they arrive at Victoria’s Secret. Women know the average bra cost, and they know which questions to ask employees. Male customers, who often shop for their partners, are less likely to know the intricacies of pricing and shopping.

  Victoria’s Secret employees are aware of this. Salespeople will show men the more expensive merchandise, while women might be shown sale or promotional items.

  (#5) Employees Have To Destroy Promotional Ads So People Won't Steal The Pictures

  The elaborate window displays in Victoria's Secret are meant to catch the eyes of shoppers wandering the mall. But sometimes, those ads catch the eyes of certain lusty individuals. The company knows that some people enjoy promotional material of lingerie-clad women for scandalous reasons, so employees are encouraged to cut up promo pictures before trashing them to avoid them being "misused."

  (#1) Employees Can Sell Returned Items If The Tags Are Attached

  Nobody wants to buy used underwear. But, according to one source, Victoria’s Secret company policy allows anything with a tag to go back out for sale. Thankfully, after a few investigative reports found that some products on the sales floor were less than pristine, the company responded and said they were changing their practices.

  Still, always wash underwear before wearing it for the first time, just to be sure.

  (#8) Employees Can't Interfere With Shoplifters

  Like many retail workers, Victoria's Secret employees aren't supposed to interfere when someone steals from the store. Though it might seem strange, this no-interaction policy actually helps with safety. Employees that physically apprehend shoplifters can get hurt or be sued. Therefore, employees must inform security guards about any suspicious activity.

  The store may lose some inventory, but no one will have to pay any injury settlements or get injured.
