Pros

Well, honestly, I LOVED working at old navy. I worked there for about a year and a half. The management team was awesome. I became friends with most of them and I felt like they all tried their best to accommodate their employees requests(when reasonable). I believe a great management team is key to creating a work environment that is not only tolerable (especially in retail) but really fun and a place where employees are actually happy to work and help customers.

Cons

Unfortunately this environment was wrecked when we got a new store manager. Half the management team who had been there for years before I even started left within six months of her starting. The rest left shortly after I also quit. From what I hear now, three of the replacement managers have also quit. If you didn't kiss butt you would get between 0-7 hours a week with measly 3-4 hour shifts. It was great while it lasted but unfortunately I could't survive off of $60 checks when I was accustomed to $400 checks.

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.
