Great Job

Pros

Everyday is the same routine when entering. You must clock in and then go straight to your LOD. here they will let you know what sales and promotions are going on and what is our goal by the end of the day. Either opening a specific amount of gap cards and how much money we have to make. Co workers are great to get along with. Managers are very respectable people since they know how your working. The discount is AWESOME! Plus you get a discount at Banana Republic & Old Navy

Cons

The pressure to open gap cards. During holidays, it gets super messy and crazy. Some customers aren't too nice. After holidays, hours are cut.

Not exciting, not interesting, too political, poor compensation for the area

Pros

The company wants its people to enjoy working there, and is willing to work with its employees to make sure they have what they need to be successful.

Cons

Working with the employees ends with compensation. GAP is headquartered on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, yet their compensation packages would only look good if they were headquartered in a suburb, or somewhere outside of the Bay Area.
