Pros

Great benefits and you are never bored with your job because it will consistently change.

Cons

Lack of planning by corporate which leaves stores struggling to meet unrealistic guidelines. Lack of respect for personal life. The job will own you and your time and you will receive little thanks or compensation. Inconsistent standards by corporate and higher level leaders, store resources that are not updated or specific, training materials that are incomplete or not updated to consistently changing standards. Promotions, sales events or contest that are overly complicated so become hard to understand.

Pros

The customers are almost always friendly. Same goes for my co-workers. Managers are very flexible when you need time off. Feels good when you help someone find a nice outfit they like.

Cons

OLD NAVY CARDS!!! (ONCs). You get reprimanded if you don't get x number of customers to apply for one each week. Detracts from other, more important tasks. Also, the Product Placement book is sometimes ambiguous (I work on shipment).

Pros

Old Navy is a perfect place to work if you're still in highschool and don't mind working 3 hours shifts and maybe get 12 hours a week. Old Navy offers an ok discount on the merchandise, you receive recognition and feedback once in awhile for a job well done, although the management usually just takes all the credit. The majority of non-management employees are great people and make for a better experience for a first job. LIttle supervision for those people who like to stand around and talk all day rather than work. Management sits in the office for the most part.

Cons

Old Navy gives few hours, offers few full time positions, don't count on being a regular full time associate unless you're in management. Old Navy offers benefits for full and part time employees, but the benefits for part time employees suck and don't cover as many expenses, they are also outrageous in cost and anyone working part time could never afford the insurance anyway. They may pay for a college course here and there if youre a full time employee, but make sure you read the fine print. They do not take entry level candidates for various positions. $38,000 down the drain for school and no where to go.
