Pros

50% discount on all Gap Inc brands (Athleta, BR, Gap, Old Navy) Sample sale was amazing! Coworkers were great! Nice office in a prime SF location overlooking bay bridge.

Cons

People were happier working from home but they moved to mandatory in office. This caused a lot of stress among employees who had altered their entire lives and although WFH was working and people felt empowered in their roles, they quickly switched and demanded a mandatory back in office. This went against their core mission and values to support, inspire, and empower women which led to a lot of mistrust in leadership. It was difficult to speak up since they were also laying off thousands of people so everyone was scared for their jobs. I hope they do better!

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
