Great company- not a great time

Pros

The people. Ask anyone- the people are amazing. Positive, energetic, passionate, interesting, vast array of personalities. The office itself is beautiful and fuels a progressive work environment. Constantly innovating, in an effort to turn around the business.

Cons

Due to the state of the business, there is a lot of pressure on the Merchandising team. It is constantly evolving as the Operating Model changes. Although it can be inspirational in some instances, it's also disheartening, as you're never quite sure what's coming next. So many changes, it will be a journey before things are stable. Be prepared for the journey.

Pros

A very dynamic, fast-paced and flexible business environment. Individual accountability as well as cross-functional growth-mindset emphasized. Increased focus on digital/mobile as well as international channels as regards growth going forward.

Cons

As the focus continues to be international growth, along with emphasis on digital/mobile -- store-side, or brick and mortar continues to struggle. Larger consolidation of merchant/inventory management teams into singular buying business units hindering expertise and work flow output in some areas.

Pros

leadership, work-life balance, flexibility, environment. To be honest this is a really chill place to work as far as retail goes. They really want you to value the customer and give a great experience to people, which to me is fantastic. I love talking to people and helping them without getting penalized for it. I agree with other reviews on here, where people give you tasks and don't hover over you to make sure you do it.. the people I work with are usually kind and open minded. It's a fair place, and the pay isn't bad for retail. FANTASTIC discount on their clothes. They will spend time teaching you about culture and retail, because they want you to be into the GAP life.

Cons

LACK OF HOURS (I cannot stress this enough). If you wanted a retail job that gives you real hours, this is NOT the company to work for. There are weeks of no hours. Srsly. Their hours depend on the money a location makes. It really sucks. The only way you make hours is if you're management. Sucks. If I would have known, I would have accepted another job offer I had. No benefits at all. They SUPER stress getting people to sign up for gap cards. IT'S ALL ABOUT GAP CARDS. ALL DAY EVERY DAY. They'll even give you less hours if you don't make any cards. It doesn't matter how good you are at your job, the only thing that matters are the cards. I mean I get it, but ghad dang. Super obsessed.
