We're disappointed to hear of your experience. We understand that our leaders play a significant role in the experience of our employees. We offer comprehensive resources for our managers to help them succeed in their particular leadership roles and to ensure that they're supporting their team.
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.
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.
