Pros

Very flexible schedule. Since there are a lot of employees, you can almost always find someone to pick up your last minute drop of a shift even if you aren't familiar with your coworkers. The discount is great and the atmosphere is healthy. You also get rewarded for being helpful, getting a good review, selling gap cards, etc.

Cons

My complaints are to the top of the food chain. The clothing is clearly made in sweat shops. But their campaigns try to give a sense of compassion. There's tees that read "made in the usa" on the front but ironically the tag reads "made in Bangladesh"

Pros

They value work life balance, competitive wages if you are in the metro area. Strong company values, Working with a peer group that is hard working and can maneuver change quickly. Best retail company I have ever worked for,

Cons

Company is in a transition period that makes running a store tuff due to conflicting information\ direction. Corporate does not seem to relate to field issues at times. Payroll was always an issue...never enough to produce the results we needed to deliver. Probably the same issues most retailers are having right now.

Pros

The discount on clothes can almost seem like another mini-salary. From college students to soccer moms there were always a few people who put in one-digit hours a week to get the clothing discount. There was also decent potential for lateral movement for those who wanted it.

Cons

Management was poor on the local and regional levels. I've never seen hours be quite as mismanaged as when I worked at the Gap.
