Pros

Gap is an iconic American brand. Problem is -- it has rested on that achievement

Cons

Gap's culture was a disappointment when it comes to thinking outside the box, testing and trying new ideas, merchandising, categories and methods for connecting to its customers

Pros

- The people. Coworkers become like friends and they're all very nice. - The discount. 50% off full price items is a pretty good deal.

Cons

- Gap cards. We are pushed to get people to open the gap card even if they don't want it. - Scheduling. Three hours shifts can be nice but sometimes it would be nice if we could get a six or seven hour shift as well. I don't want to have to work five days a week to get 15 hours when that could be done in two eight hour shifts. - Career advancement. Advancement is definitely about politics and not ability.

Pros

Amazing work-life balance in-line with the San Francisco lifestyle. Leaving at 4pm on a Friday was accepted, as was an hour-long lunch outside. Gap offers great benefits and its corporate headquarters have an amazing location. Excelling training programs.

Cons

Felt very stagnant and bureaucratic. While there was definitely room for growth, it was very formulaic, i.e. 1 years here, then moving to a division with more volume, 2 years, 3% raise, then consideration for a promotion, etc. The work was also very formulaic and after about 6 months I could plan my categories in minutes.
