Pros

Awesome benefits, generous discount, great co-workers and good training

Cons

Salary guidelines are now terrible and not very competitive. They expect perfection at all times in all areas but do not give any payroll to complete the tasks they want done. They say "Run it like you own it" but they micromanage every little aspect. Upper management always plays favorites and tells other stores they are not a priority.

Pros

Amazing work-life balance in-line with the San Francisco lifestyle. Leaving at 4pm on a Friday was accepted, as was an hour-long lunch outside. Gap offers great benefits and its corporate headquarters have an amazing location. Excelling training programs.

Cons

Felt very stagnant and bureaucratic. While there was definitely room for growth, it was very formulaic, i.e. 1 years here, then moving to a division with more volume, 2 years, 3% raise, then consideration for a promotion, etc. The work was also very formulaic and after about 6 months I could plan my categories in minutes.
