Pros

Everyone wins. The company really invest in the development of their employees at every level. The benefits. ...I don't think any company can compare to Gap's PTO, LOA, etc. The new CEO is definitely taken the company in a great direction. Only up from here at Gap.

Cons

Little growth to get in corporate from store level. Most people been with the company 15+ years.

Pros

Overall a great company to work for when business is good. Opportunities to grow if thats what you are seeking. Benefits are great Pay is ok but they will negotiate if you state facts about industry

Cons

Must be determined on your own to move up otherwise you will not get support you need. When business isn't great be prepared for stress, layoffs, and fear of the unknown

Pros

* Large company with lots of opportunity for advancement and career path diversity. Literally offer near every career opportunity from left brain creative to right brain analytical. * Company has a rich history of caring deeply for their employees and has increased their awareness for the communities both local and globally. * Training programs can be amazing. * Hard work, effort, insight and results ARE rewarded.

Cons

* Gap has become incredibly short-term results oriented and while may have strategic long-term goals, at base levels (customer facing) of the organization, priorities can change hourly and seem in direct conflict with stated long term goals. * Training programs are great for HQ employees but next to ZERO hours are committed to those who come in contact with customers daily. * Very high turnover across the organization. If designers/merchants make poor assortment choices, or planners and allocators make poor inventory decisions... it can literally cost a District or Regional Manager their job when sales lag. * The term "knee jerk reaction" originated with this company
