great learning experience
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – October 13, 2012
limited brands is a great company to work for
costumer service and visual was my passion.
I manage store as a acting store manager for a total of 9 months and was training new managers for district. I was not promoted for store manager due to my age at that time according to District Manager.

Not a fun place to work
Co-Manager (Former Employee) – Georgia – September 20, 2018
You have to work way too much for way too little compensation. This company has no value for its long standing employees, asking them to step down whenever they decide they don't like them. The clothes and discounts are good but there are some terrible people running this company.
Challenging work environment in that they do not give you the tools to succeed and then ask you to get everything with half the time it would actually take.

Pros
40% off discount
Cons
Everything else
fun workplace
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – September 11, 2018
Fellow employees were very friendly and welcoming. Customer service skills improved due to this job. Management was not too considerate of the associates' schedules outside of working, this includes school or a family emergency.
Pros
Friendly staff
Cons
Little to no hours due to so many employees, minimum pay
Fun place to work as a student.
Store Detective Supervisor (Former Employee) – New York, NY – September 10, 2018
Great entry level job to work for experience in customer service and relations.
Most enjoyed meeting new friends on the job.
Management can sometimes be stressful due to sales pressures.

I had a horrible manager
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – North Wales, PA – September 10, 2018
I believe my time at Express would have been better off if we had had a better management team. One didn't care about anything going on in the store, another cared WAY too much and drove us all mad, and another one you could walk all over and acted more like a timid mouse than a manager. Overall, in my short time with the company, I recognized the decline in the product quality and the rise of prices.
Contract Labor
Courier Driver (Former Employee) – Chattanooga, TN – September 5, 2018
Typical day you come in and find your orders to be delivered. Sometimes it's ready most times not. Didn't really teach me anything. Your given your paperwork and have to deliver to homes and businesses. The hardest part of the job was when they sent you out of your delivery area. Best part was you work by yourself on the deliveries.
They need to pay more
Sales Lead (Former Employee) – San Rafael, CA – September 2, 2018
Loved most of my co-workers and manager! Loved the discount although I heard that they recently lowered it...which sucks because they pay just a little over minimum wage to start. The pay is one of the down falls of working for this company, its not enough. I was promoted to sales lead (manager) and was getting paid $10.75!!! which is a joke. But I took it because I was in college and it was the only job that would work with my class schedule. The other major down fall is that there was little to no positive reinforcement from the higher ups but there sure was a lot of feedback.
Its retail
Advanced Cashier (Current Employee) – Kenwood, OH – August 31, 2018
it'll suck you in and you won't get out and the pay sucks. The environment is okay though. I like my coworkers. Heavy emphasis on opening credit cards.
Pros
40% off
Cons
short break, low pay, low hours
Boring
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Savannah, GA – August 30, 2018
I worked here because I thought that retail experience would be beneficial in the fashion industry. While I still believe that to be true, the mall was always dead and management was changing. Since I was one of the few neat and organized employees they asked me to do shipment a lot. Saying that the trusted that I would do it right. It just wasn't really what I was expecting. I wanted more sales experience and to help style customers.

A job for less bills
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – August 27, 2018
Express is a good place to work part time as a second job. As a only job you get no hours whatsoever and can only go off call ins. You don’t get paid much either. Tends to get boring on a slow day as you have nothing to do but refold over and over when done with everything else.
Pros
Relaxed environment, fun coworkers
Cons
No benefits, no hours
Productive fun place to work.

If you go to school or simply have another job they're great with hours, really flexible. Fun and exciting work environment, also a great place to keep you looking trendy.
Pros
Flexible schedule
Cons
Long hours of work, and short breaks
Fun Place To Work!
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Jonesboro, AR – August 26, 2018
I enjoyed my time at Express. My coworkers were fun. I really liked both of the managers I had at Express. The clothes are great though priced a bit high. Luckily, we got a 30% discount.
Pros
Discount, Manager
Work Day
Stylist (Former Employee) – New York, NY – August 24, 2018
My typical workday required me to style customers for any summer events they had to attend too.
I learned that most women do not know what type of clothing or colors work best for their body shape, which is why it is like my second nature to know what looks flattering on a woman to make her look and feel beautiful.

Great environment
Sales Associate/Stylist/ Sales Lead (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – August 24, 2018
Its fast paced so there's always something to do which makes the day go by faster. The workers are friendly and lively which makes work kinda fun. Expect to be always on your feet and be very social throughout.
worst company i ever worked at
laboer (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – August 21, 2018
management are busy competing against each other to care about the employees. theres no help when you need it, people are constantly calling in sick, so you have to pick up the slack. benefits are not good, they only cover 40% and you have to pay the rest. the only people advancing in this company are the office people. the people who are actually putting in sweat and tears in production are getting ignored.
Pros
none
Cons
everything
Alright
Express Associate (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – August 21, 2018
It a good job if you going to school but if you working there for living then you won’t make it but the managers and my team members were great that all that cam with the job other than that I wouldn’t recommend working there
Functional
Data Entry and Administrative Associate (Former Employee) – Charleston, WV – August 20, 2018
This is a staffing agency that just sends people out to work in menial offices with menial people with menial pay. This area is not conducive to anything but more menial living. Move away and enjoy life elsewhere.
