Pros
Great Gap brands discount at 50% at all four brands (GAP, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta). Lots of stores and locations if you want to move somewhere different or try new roles. Great employee healthcare benefits.
Cons
Little to no work/life balance. 9 hour shifts because of unpaid one hour meal break, just make it 8 hours paid. Always made to feel guilty when requesting time off or holidays off to be with family. Hourly employees, including full time managers, receive little to no recognition for their hard work. Company wasted money to host all employees who are General Managers and above to go to Las Vegas for five days this past spring but then let go of 1800 employees. Maybe use that money to have a higher starting wage and then we wouldn’t have to operate our stores with only two people for upwards of 6 hours.
