Pros

I was a Product Marketing Specialist at Old Navy. When i went in for my interview the job sounded great, and i felt like i could succeed in the position. I was only there about a month, and realized quickly the job had a lot of tasks and responsibilities that i was unaware of! I was told i would be leading a team and running the truck on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I quickly found out that instead of leading a team, and jumping in to help when one of my team members has fallen behind, that i too would be busy processing shipment for hours while expected to keep an eye on my team and keep them on task . Not what i expected at all. The job sounded great, but for the task heavy position it just does not pay enough, nor does this position get any benefits because its only a part time position.

Cons

This company seems to be very unorganized. I was told I would have a team on shipment and never had a core team, therefor how could I build team morale or how could we become a team if i wasn't working with the same people every time. They had to pull other specialist and workers from there normal positions on Tuesdays and Thursdays to process shipment. I believe i could've done well in this position if i was given the tools and man hours to do so. I learned quickly that, that will never happen. Corporate seems to think things should and can be done in an unreasonable amount of time. We were always over budget on our hours, and the first hours to be cut were from shipment. This job should be a full time position with benefits!

Pros

I’ve stayed with Old Navy through my entire undergrad and grad school experience. The best part about working here is how flexible they are with your schedule—they really work with you to make sure you can balance your shifts around classes and finals.

Cons

he holiday season is tough because Black Friday is now a mandatory 8-hour shift for everyone—no exceptions. Also, the attendance policy has become much stricter recently. They use a point system where you accumulate points for being even a minute late, which feels a bit extreme when you've been a loyal employee for years. It definitely makes the environment feel more rigid than it used to be.

Pros

You might meet some lifelong friends! Long tenure if you are willing to give up everything to try to be a successful employee Good EAP program for short term intensive therapy…

Cons

Public criticism, condescending communication, inconsistent accountability, and fear-based management styles became increasingly common. Feedback often felt reactive rather than constructive, and many employees did not feel psychologically safe speaking openly about concerns. There was also a significant lack of consistency between leaders and stores. Expectations changed constantly, communication was often unclear, and favoritism sometimes impacted accountability and decision-making. Long-term employees who consistently stepped up during difficult periods often felt taken for granted rather than appreciated. Reporting to HR will get you no where. You will be gaslit if you choose to speak up.
