Pros

Gap offers a strong brand and resources dedicated towards employee training and development. Also good benefits - generous PTO, employee discounts, etc.

Cons

Very difficult to transfer between departments so not a good place for long-term development unless you really love retail. Compensation is below average. Promotions and raises are based more on politics than performance. Little to no emphasis on management training so you may be managed by people with limited skills and ability.

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.
