Pros

Gap has a fun atmosphere and is a great place to be if you like working with customers. Great discounts and my store had a lot of flexibility.

Cons

Well.. No matter how hard you work, if your not best friends with the managers, you won't be getting a fair amount of hours. They really don't take the "no mixing business with your personal life" thing seriously. This at least rings true at my store. I got praise for my recovery and I sold a lot of cards, which is something they stress the MOST, but still got less hours than a lot of people. By less I mean around SIX to TEN. At a low point I got THREE. Yet "great jobs" and "your the best!" during my short lived shifts. It was a very unpredictable job. Good if you don't REALLY need the money. Otherwise, get tf out of there.

Pros

Working in dynamic environment with cross functional partnerships. Gap Inc is a very supportive culture, teaches "soft skills" and collaboration. Never a dull moment. Fast paced and fun environment.

Cons

Complacent culture. The talent people is diluted. People get away with stuff at Gap that other companies would not tolerate. Almost too "soft" a culture.
