Pros

Gap is a well respected name in the apparel industry producing great products that are in demand by consumers. Thank You Patrick Robinson for giving us styles that are easy to sell. The employee discount is quite generous and you can wear jeans to work!!

Cons

Stores operate with high levels of workload often without timely or consistent direction. Finding a balance between brand tasking and customer service is quite difficult at times. Doing more work with less payroll is the expectation, which is often an unrealistic goal. This results in salaried managers putting in WAY more hours than required and still coming up short on results. Work / life balance is a tough one to accomplish in this environment, so if you enjoy "living to work" instead of "working to live" then this is the management position for you.

Pros

Good gig as a student. Good team culture, flexible manager with schedules especially around exams, coworkers are nice.

Cons

Job requires you to be available both days of the weekend. Way too much of a push for credit cards towards people who've already expressed they don't want one.
