Pros

Get more hours than average PT employees Employee discount for all GAP branches was good

Cons

Working FT hours on PT pay and NO benefits Management had no respect for lower employees often bad mouthing other employees in front of others Was misled in interview when told I would rarely work 5am shifts. Turned out I had 5am shifts at least 2x a week and 3-4x during peak season. Very disorganized structure and no real interest in employees

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.
