Does a girl have to be attractive to work at Victoria's Secret?

[mrsingle]

Or do they hire any girl that can do the job position properly regardless of looks? What clothing do you wear?

I'm only talking about selling the clothes/cashier/stock/fit help, NOT VS models!

Most people from a logical stand point are average looking.
When the VS employees apply their facial make up, they appear very attractive.

I think women in general have their tricks to look good.
But generally speaking, you dont have to be eye candy to work at victoria secret.

It helps but it's not a necessarity. Most girls who work at VS tend to have a certain type of beauty: slim body type and girly style. I did see a plus size girl working there once.

You have to be attractive, that's the front they want to put just like Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch"Hey, this is where the attractive people at" sort of thing.

[aficionado]

I think they have to be EXTREMELY physically attractive, with a skinny body, to even consider auditioning to work for Victoria's Secret.

[mrsingle]

I'm not talking models, working at the store selling the clothing.

[aficionado]

Oh... like that! I have no idea about that, because firstly, I'm not a woman (which means I won't visit their stores) and also, that brand is not available in my country.

[BertMacklinFBI]

it would make sense for Victoria's Secret, but that doesn't explain why the smoothie and soft serve girls are always so damn hot.

[BertMacklinFBI]

fuck even the one slinging pretzels is bangin'

[mrsingle]

Some hot girls work serving ice cream 😉

Hiring based on looks is discrimination. And not only girls work there. You don't need to be a supermodel or have a vagina to work there.

[mrsingle]

Wow I didn't know guys could work at VS! I've never been in one so I was curious. However some jobs DO require a certain look (like Hooters girls must be pretty with decent boobs).

[CHARismatic110]

Ahh, good ole Hooters. I have the boobs, but not the body. Oh well. *grabs pizza*

"Hiring based on looks is discrimination"

You can call it discrimination if you want, but it's perfectly legal discrimination. Overweight people are not a federally protected class. And neither are "unattractive" people (good luck even trying to define that one, legally speaking).

A&F has very openly practiced looks-based hiring discrimination for years and years and years. In fact, that's pretty much the basis of the entire A&F brand.

"Wow I didn't know guys could work at VS!"

Solidly 1/3 of the employees at my local VS are boys. Most are pretty obviously gay (which is a net loss, considering straight men could totally use that 20/30% employee discount to their gf's/wife's benefit)

[Ihav2fart]

Absolutely not! I've seen some not so attractive girls there before.

For some reason it seems like other "designer" brand clothing shops do have pretty people all over though... Like every Armani Exchange I've been to omg... Pretty people haven

[KLTheErudite7229]

I think it's because they want to use good looking girls as models for their companies, just as they want good looking guys to model for acrombies and etc.

[ConsultantIsBack]

I mean it's a minimum wage job that needs thousands of people to fill, so they can't be too selective. But they will def hire the women that are presentable and somewhat attractive.

[Teddius]

Not at all. It won't hurt if they are attractive, however, considering it's retail.

[fernandocuva1]

Well, they're obviously sucking in terms of recruitment. All of those girls working at VS are either borderline anorexic, plasters of makeup, and have facial acne scars that are poorly hidden.

[rgb008]

No. You just need to know how to fit and sell a bra.

[523206720]

You don't have to be attractive but you have to be fit and thin.

[Hollywood-Glam]

Not necessarily, they just need to be tall and skinny/fit.

[truthhammer]

in retail looks are a huge asset as people spend more around beautiful women in all cases

[skeptic007]

you have too be decent looking

[Jared____]

Nope
