Dont bother with La Senza! The visuals are getting to be every other weekend on a sunday night. hard to get staff to work these as most are pt's with school the next day. Sales are a big thing so be prepared to sell sell sell! With the amount of money being spent on marketing and visuals you think they be able to allocate and pay the associates better !

I had worked at the company for over 6 years. It started out really great in the beginning and then Limited Brands took it over and things seemed to go downhill from there. The company expects way too much from their employees for the amount that they are being payed. Yes, this is a retail job and I understand that working in retail means pushing for sales and meeting sales targets but harassing...

La senza is a very poor company to work for. Limited brands is bringing la senza down. They hire new girls and do not train them. Then they give the staff 5 hours a week to 25 hours being lucky if you get that even. Then they call in people because they are short staff or bother people to stay longer. They do not know how to scedual at all... You get a 30 min break for even 9 hours of work. ...

O on all aspects , managers 0 staff 10/10

If I could give this job a 0, I would.(...). The manager hired me on a whim as it seems (because she had no hours to give) and right when she hired me the trouble began. Because she was never around, I had to run after her, call her, call the shop and stop by for nearly 3 days before I could get some info about when I was to start. When she reluctantly gave me my first shift for Training, she...

horrible management,horrible company! Was with this company for a few years and just recently had got a new manager. She loved belittling you and making you feel you were never good enough. The expectations for min wage are ridiculous. NEVER WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!

working for la senza was such a horrible experiance, they don't treat you like a human being, your just a selling machine, you could be dying on the sales floor and all they care about is sells sells sells. and i dont think a 30 minute break on an 8 hour shift is legal, and not to mention the horrible pay and don't promise a raise after three months when you know that you have no intention of...

Very well organized company. Without generalizing all stores, employees at my store lack proper training.

I was asked to transfer from another limited brands company to help a La senza store meet certain goals and as soon as the goals were completed I was let go, the store was a mess and an extremely stressful place to work in the two months I worked for the company at least 3/4 of the girls I started with had quit or abandoned the job. The communication among managers was horrendous I do not...

And I thought my last retail job was stressful.. I would never recommend La Senza to anyone who was looking for a job. I have worked there for 4 months and everyone who was there when I started, except a select few, have quit and the rest are planning to quit. To be completely honest, I have told several girls who came in to apply, not to. Though I don't think the job would be half as bad if the...

I was let go at la senza for working to hard and trying to provide excellent customer service. I was told that the manager was intimidated by by abilities and that I was extremely good with my customer service... I know I would not believe this myself if it did not happen to me. And because I wanted an occasional Saturday off that this was unacceptable ...really.... Most people have a life...

I worked for La Senza part-time for 3 months and i am going to quit tomorrow. I still haven't gotten paid for all the hours that i worked for and every time i "bug" my manager about it she makes up some sort of explanation and says that next pay check 200% guaranteed i'm getting paid. Whenever i complain about not getting paid i get zero shifts that week and when i stop bothering her about it i...

I worked for LaSenza for just over 2 months and it was probably one of the worst places to work. You would go a 5 hour shift on your feet the whole time folding underwear and putting bras away, no breaks although you are legally entitled to one. The work was ridiculously repetitive and there was no opportunity for placement anywhere else. I felt like i was being told to harass the customers who...

I would not recommend working for LaSenza. I worked there for almost a month, and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. For example, they would have you fold underwear for an entire 8 hour shift, and you would only be given one half hour break. Supervisors would scold you for chatting with customers if they did not purchase anything. Poor environment, poor management, generally a...

I have worked for various companies in both the restaurant industry and retail industry, both usually categorized as under-paid, under-appreciated and overall bad working environments. However nothing can compare to La Senza and the way you are treated there. As a full time employee I was subjected to awful pay, awful hours, and overall mistreatment of employees. I would go home and have my...

This has been my first retail job and I've only been working here for a few months, however would not recommend working for this company to ANYONE from my experience! My previous job required a higher level of mental and physical performance.. so I know how to perform well and what it's like to be appreciated... yet La Senza has shown me zero appreciation. The pay is not enough, they expect too...

I've worked at La Senza for about 2 months now and it is the best job i've had yet There is a lot of options for spending your time -- change rooms, measuring, helping customers, cash, stock, floorset, replenishment -- so you don't get too bored. My manager is really nice and has a great positive attitude all the time, the part-time team is accepting and helpful, and the assistant manager is not...

Do not engage in work with this employer unless you are prepared to take on the role of a Limited Brands robot.

I absolutely love my job at La Senza. I am only 17 and have only worked there for almost 3 months, but I am certain I will be staying there for much longer. I work with amazing people and they all treat me with respect. Out of my 3 part-time student jobs, this one is definitely a keeper while I attend school.

this is the WORST company to work for. they DONT care about anyone but themselfs. the pay is way too low for the work done. I was a key holder and after taxes i got payed LESS then min wage. my managers pushed me out and did not talk to me. i was iceolated and bulied. they spent their entire shifts in the back "reading email, making the sechedual" but realy they were gossiping and just killing...

la senza expects you to do way to much for minimum wage: bra fitting, manual (potentially dangerous labour), organizing the store, cash, cleaning (including toilets). They expect you to push sales like crazy which to me is just fine as it is a sales job but the way management "coaches" you is ridiculous. It is not acceptable to lose a sale. I feel like i get treated the exact same as everyone...

They don't recognize the good employees they have. They seem to keep the lazy kids that don't ever say anything. The management is terrible, the compensation is terrible. If you get a job here prepare yourself for minimum wage and being under-appreciated.

They work you to the bone.... many 12-19hour shifts. The visuals are so large and there is no man power to get it done.The highest turnover rate I have ever seen!!! Most stores are losing their entire management teams right now. Terrible communication between District managers and head office to stores. Expect minimum wage and the company will suspend annual raises because sales are down huge...

Over the last several months I have found my stress levels at work to be continually increasing due to extremely poor managerial skills in staffing, scheduling, and overall management attitude about the company and position. There are often times of disrespect and no appreciation whatsoever. The expectations of the company for its employees are also becoming quite ridiculous based on the...

iv worked at la senza for about 4 years as a team manager and the pay isnt great and hasnt increased, not even by a penny for over 2 years where as sale assistance is slowly increasing through out the year! alot is expected from you and thankyou is hardly ever used from higher manegment as they expect you to do all the work on the shopfloor with customers and will question when things arent going...

I was here for 11 months...almost a year. When I first started it was ok...but then after a couple months...the management got really pushy for sales. I started becoming more and more stressed. Asking me things like...how many bras did you sell? Why so little? How many match back panties? Oh...did you tell them about the beauty products/sleepwear? Remember to add onto your sale! And the...

La Senza was a good company before Limited Brands took over. Limited Brands does not respect or value their employees. They took all our incentives away and expect more work. They are also a very disorganized company. They say they are going to do one thing, such as visual changes every 4 weeks, except they are more like every other week, which takes time away from our lives and families. They...

Ive worked for la senza for 4 years and i am leaving next week. all i have to say is that from a part time perspective if you have a good management team you have fun. Now i am the assistant in a high volume store, in the past month we've had 3 huge visits and the prep time was just a joke. all the hours you put in and at the end of the day you do not even get a thank you. i am basically the...

I worked there for 5 months (part-time). I was very unhappy and dissatisfied toward my job. My manager assistant is very bossy, and my manager likes to push you all the time. " you should do this, you have to do it in this way" she is so annoying!!! manager should know how to motive their employees, not demotivated. I feel like my manager is watching me all the time, she could tell me what i...

I've been working with La Senza for four years now. Shortly before that Limited Brands bought the company out. Since this had happened the changes they are making are ridiculous. I don't feel like I'm being treated like a person yet just a selling machine. Coaching someone because they didn't make enough money during they're CSL segment is ridiculous. The pay is also terrible. There has been no...

La Senza is a great company to work for, Limited Brads has taken over the company and only made it better. Yes! there is more stress and more work and they could pay alot better for the work expected from us. But our company is growing for the better sales have increased, when the management is not on you about going up to the customers conversion falls and sales do not increase to where they...

Pay is TERRIBLE considering the amount of work they expect you to do. I feel like I am harrassing customers with the tagline right when they walk in, and am forced to check on a customer every five minutes, even if they expressed they don't want to be bothered. It is very demoralizing and draining to treat customers in this fashion, and I hope this policy changes soon. I have been working there...

I have been with La Senza for over a year now, and I have to say that Limited Brands is destroying the company. La Senza would not be a bad employer had Limited Brands never stepped in. Their plan is obviously to get rid of La Senza and introduce Victoria's Secret into every mall in Canada. They have plans, some already carried out, some still being planned, to bring in huge Victoria's Secret...

the sarnia manager is shit the asisent manager is the one who should run the store the manage is never there she is all ways calling in sick and dose not care about no one but her self they should do some thing about it ....

I worked for La Senza for about 9 months as a team lead, it wasn't horrible but there were certain aspects that were annoying like any other job. My manager was not that great, I asked for time off months in advance for a wedding and she fought me until the week I left and even asked if I could change my dates of my trip which I was already leaving the day before the wedding. It was always a...

I disagree with everyone here. I have no idea what store you are working for but my store is NOTHING like any of this. My managers are amazing and the girls I work with are amazing. I do not dred going to work everyday like my other jobs and I enjoy being at work. I have only been with the company for 5 months and have been offered three promotions, and a full time position. My benefits are...

I was only a seasonal employee for a few months and will be happy when its over. The company is very poorly run and i would advise people to stay away and find work somewhere else as most places probably pay a lot better. They are an unrelible source of income as you never know how many hours you will have in a given week and they will cut them back even more if head office is not making enough...

Limited Brands has an undercover mission is to shut LaSenza down and have the Vitoria Secret Stores take over, notice how they don't allow any Commercial advertisement for LaSenza? The employee's don't seem to get the same treatment as the original American Company's; BBW or Victoria's Secrect. It Will happen and I personally Recommend not making this a positve job experience.

Personally, I say do not work for this company in a full time/permanent anything position. They do not pay very well, because of this, they get crappy management. Since the store is filled with so many females, young ones at that, it can be a lot like highschool. Cliques, cattiness, leers, lies, accusations, favoritism, you name it, it happens. Management is very disorganized, lacking in tact and...

I worked at La senza for a year and a half.. first stared out as part time.. then part time team leader then full time lead.. Through this I had 5 managers 3 I had to train.. They ALL ended up leaving at one point.. There was no manager what so ever in my store.. I then bumped up to the managers. No raise or anything.. but, they still expected me to do EVERYTHING.. payroll, scheduling. You name...

This company is the most horribly run company I have ever worked for. I've been in management for several years within La Senza and I am thisclose to leaving. We now have to harrass customers (jump on them as soon as they come in), belittle our employees because our DMS deem perfectly acceptable staff as incompetant and you have absolutely NO life while working here. Once I find another job, its...

I have worked here for about 3 months and I seriously recommend anybody considering a job here (unless it's a temp position!) to steer very, very clear. At first I thought the store and my job was great, and the staff were really lovely, until about a week in, and things dramatically changed. I have no idea how they even have any staff (actually, the staff turnover is unbelievably high- I don't...

Hi Everyone!

I have been an assistant manager at this company for only 3 months and i am ready to leave!

it is rediculous to have to stock customers around the store trying to push sales, they expect us to do so much even though they have cut hours and say we cannot "task" on the sales floor

I remember when head office visited our store, the vice president of limited brands and about 7...

I worked, for La Senza,as a Manager for over 5yrs, & walked out today. Limited Brands,has KILLED La Senza & is an aweful company to work for. Unless, you are a 20 year old Twinkie, looking to socialize inbetween classes & boyfriends, this is not the company for you. Many of the DM's & Managers are now under 25 & under qualified. Maybe,Limited Brands strategy to close the La Senza divison & this...

working at la senza is so belittling , they make me say a tag phrase to everyone that walks in and goes as following; hey welcome to la senza, just to let you know were featured our new double push up bras, they make you two cups bigger". How sad like why can't i just assist customers, noooo la senza makes me stock customers every second I have a chance i have to be bugging them!! All La senza...

This company caused many illnesses in my particular location.... physical, mental, emotional.... I agree that this company is not a good one to work for... They hire ignorant, young, and incompetent people to work for head office.. my DM in particualr. La Senza runs on the value of greed instead of trying to create a reputable reputation.... If you want to work until three or four in the morning...

limited brands has killed la senza and will not end until its closes them down and replace wiht victoria secret canadians cannot let them take our pirde

i just started at la senza and so far i loveeeeeee it.

I agree with the above comments. I have worked for La Senza just under four years, and things are changing rapidly for the worse. Management is unprofessional, and unrealistically demanding. Within my store, every employee is angry with the company, and the morale is at an all-time low. We all dread having to go to work, and are actively looking for alternate employment. There are no perks to...

I have worked for Lasenze for many years and I just quit. I used to love working there...until a few months ago. I am sad that I am done...but happy I don't have to put up with their BS!!!! Be careful cuz when they want you out....they will get you out!

Since this company was bought out by Limited Brands a year ago, it seems that the future for LS employees is pretty bleak. Head office no longer cares about staff, putting salary increases on hold one year and then if you were lucky to get a raise the next year, you got a whopping 2% or 3% of your current salary. I am in management and get NO weekends off, yet head office recommends 'a work/life'...

They do not appreciate their employees. I worked without a manager for almost 5 months, and basically running the store with THREE other employees. Worked long days (10-12 hours were becoming very normal by the time I left) and pushed almost 55 hour weeks EVERY week. This wouldn't have been bad had I been paid more, but it was just above minimum wage...

Then, after being short staffed, under...

La senza is very under appreciative of their employees!

I have worked at La Senza for over a year now. At the particular location I work in the managment is horrible. They are unprofessional, catty, and back stab their employees. It is not a healthy environment and I would not recomend this job to anyone. I myself and some of the other staff feel personally attacked. Many problems are blamed on us because managment can't admit their own bad work. I am...

Ive been working for a year now, just recently the company has decided to pay us minumum wage, and make our job even harder and more strict. Uniform not only for LASENZA but now LASENZA GIRL is black dress pants, WHITW SHIRT ONLY with black blazer as a must overr white shirt if not blazer then fashionable black top no plain tshirts or tank tops must be fancy. THEY ARE CRAZY. we used to get a one...

Pretty good product, bowever they are successful and profitable despite the mess with the management they have running the company starting at the top (President and CFO). they don't value their employees, compensation is low and they work you to the bones until you burnout. good luck

While La Senza does have a good product it was an environment the is very emotional unhealthy. Employee's are poorly trained (and under-paid) right from the start. Even given the fact that it is retail, little consideration is given thoughtful scheduling to accommodate employees needs. There is a very prevalent lack of timely communication from regional office and sometimes mixed messages...
