I work at Old Navy in Ontario, I work part-time, only weekends as a couple of weeks ago. I hate it.
Pros
i love the people i work with. i.e normal employees. customers are always nice. and i take cash over floor any day.
Cons
Well. Management has an attitude issue. i think everyone who works at an old navy knows how they are. it doesn't seem to change anywhere. never get recognized for doing a good job, always focused on the negative of my job performance. We don't have Old navy cards here in Canada and thank god for that. i already have enough trouble pushing the emails. MGMT doesn't understand people don't want to give them out and have junk from Old Navy sent to them. If i as a cashier dont want it then chances are the customers don't want it. MGMT tells us to tell the customers "give us a 10 and you'll get 15% off your next purchase!" 1. thats complete fraud. you get 15% regardless as to what the CES are rated. MGMT has favorites. thank god im one of them but for other employees it isn't fair and very unprofessional. to much of a gruesome and stressful job for what you are being paid for. turnover is always on the slow end of the scale. MGMT and "leaders" talk behind all employees backs about personal things that aren't true and causes unprofessional office politics. hours are completely inconsistent throughout the weeks. booking time off is a pain in the ass. you book it off and its approved yet you are still scheduled. example i books off 5 days for my cottage and i was booked 4/5 days that were all approved. i had to cancel my trip or be let go. overall it is one of the worst retail places to work for.
