Pros

The people were great and the discount was a perk. The creativity was great and it was easy to feel like you were making a contribution to the organization. The company is also very socially aware and it was great to be involved in events like the San Francisco AIDS walk. Events and training were generally very well thought out and Gap does teach you the skills you need to be successful.

Cons

People that were there a long time were overlooked for advancement. I went through so many managers it was ridiculous. There were also a lot of cliques. Those of you who just want to get your job done as oppossed to socializing may need to think twice. It felt like being a great employee who received good reviews was not quite good enough.

Pros

Fun (and young) culture. Company values diversity and this is by far the most diverse employee base I have worked with. Great job in this regard! Company is very involved in the community and takes social responsibility very seriously.

Cons

Extremely political. Very high turnover. Most senior management promoted due to tenure, not leadership capabilities. "Yes-man" culture thrives. Employee morale overall is low due to political fiefdoms and lack of company growth last few years. No drive for innovation and managers don't want to stick their heads out and take a risk.

Pros

inspiring leaders and collaborative team environment

Cons

failure to invest in technology/systems to improve efficiency. processes are outdated, slow and frustrating - which makes every person's job 2x more laborious than it should be. health benefits recently changed to HRA (originally PPO), which is not a good option for families. slow to innovate in every way.
