Pros

Staff becomes second family, great pay and benefits, diversity, career growth. Started with the company as a Sales Associate and worked my way up to an Acting General Manager. I loved my job, was very dedicated and passionate! When DM left the company the market I worked in went into a tailspin with 2 Acting DMs causing unnecessary waves trying to show each other up. Not good for business!

Cons

Extended open hours, Acting DMs doing walk throughs with no actual feedback, training for all levels of staff- it takes a good year to acclimate to the Old Navy way, technology- registers and mobiles always crashing, lack of payroll, lack of LP assistance in high shrink stores. Absolutely NO work/life balance, GroupMe is out of control- having to constantly send reads or action plans even when you’re not working is ridiculous!

Pros

They were very honest with me about how limited the hours were when I got hired (many other retail places will lie and say that they'll give you so many hours so that you accept the job and then they will not even give you half of what they promised). They actually give you a break and follow company policies/ state law at this location (again many other retail places will lie about/ not give you your breaks). They also scheduled two weeks ahead. Most of the rest of the management (besides the stock managers) seemed fine. The store was always behind and falling apart and turnover was high so there were often extra hours to pick up.

Cons

Stock managers were surprisingly rude/incompetent and do not appreciate hard work. There's actually a fair bit more heavy-lifting/ butt-busting than most other jobs that pay minimum wage. Stock anywhere is going to be fast paced, but to wake up at 3AM, bust your butt the entire time, get paid minimum wage, only get part-time hours each week, AND to have your bosses constantly treat you like dirt despite all of that. No thanks. If you're a hard worker do yourself a favor and work somewhere that either pays more or has decent management.
