Etobicoke, ON

Current Employee – been working at Old Navy part-time for more than 3 years

ProsFriendly place, not based on commission, inviting environment, great opportunities to move up in management,

ConsI believe even store managers are only part-time workers so although there are opportunities to move up, I don't know if hours will change dramatically. Also with moving up with positions you can be moved quite a bit to different locations, quite often.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Vancouver, BC

Former Employee – worked at Old Navy full-time

ProsI never worked so hard as I did working for Old Navy. The expecations are huge to produce results in all areas of sales, personal and people development, customer service and merchandising.

ConsSame dog and pony show when the DMs come to visit - they give you tons of payroll to make the store look good for the visit, and then you can't staff for the rest of the month.

Advice to Senior ManagementSee above.
