Pros

Great Gap, Inc Brands discount. Wonderful community involvement and giving back through Gap Foundatin and Be What's Possible. Every store is different, tone set by general manager and team.

Cons

A good amount of favoritism inside a district. Moving up was who you knew and who liked you, not your work experience or results. The bigger the store the more unusual the hours. The bigger boxes pull overnights frequently. Being a brand manager is definitely more demanding than the customer manager.

Pros

Good health benefits, some 401k match

12 hour shifts, subpar bonus', limited upward mobility as managers and upper management did not want to promote from within and risk operational change causing productivity decline
