Pros

Very flexible with hours and availabilities, unless it's a holiday weekend then you're working for sure. $9.50 an hour makes sense as a starting wage and for a part time student working over the summer. Coworkers make an effort to be friendly and make everyone feel welcome, and this can be said about select managers as well. The brand's values really appealed to me, which is why I started working there. I always felt inclined to do what's best for the customer, which is what our training manager insisted when I first started working there and it always stuck. And, the employee discount is fantastic.

Cons

Your day truly depends on who your LOD is during your shift, I have one who is fantastic, supportive and truly cares about her employees and the customers, as well as sales and GCs. I have a couple others who care only about Gap cards and sales, and not about customer experience and employees. We also get a lot of bratty customers, but that is never the company's fault. I was also surprised to hear the top two LODs talk behind a lot of my coworkers' backs, and even complained about them to other sales associates. It definitely made me feel less inclined to trust those LODs. I've also noticed that the quality of the clothing itself has gone down, and this has been noticed by our customers too. Additionally, I feel sleazy selling and pushing Gap cards, especially when customers talk about already being able to pay off other credit cards. Management could be better, feeling bullied doesn't make a sales associate feel driven to get sales.

Pros

When I interviewed at GAP, everyone seemed very nice.

Cons

All the issues started after I was hired. The day I was scheduled to be trained, the assistant manager forgot and never showed so the rest of the employees just kept handing me off. I was never trained on how to use the register or other basics for retail. I was told to stay in the front and just greet people. I was never given an opportunity to do anything else. In the 4 months that I was employed at GAP, I only received 5 shifts. Every week I would call in about my lack of hours and I'd be informed that either the Manager or Assistant Manager screwed up and it would be corrected. Unfortunately this never happened.
