Pros

Good employee discount of 50% off full price merchandise.

Cons

Way too much emphasis placed on opening and offering Gap Cards. We were scolded and penalized for not reaching high gap card goals or being caught "stopping at the first no". Some management seemed to disregard employee's lives outside the gap; did not seem to realize that $8.85 after nearly 2 years with the company is not enough to make an employee really want to put their job first.

Pros

They carry pretty good quality clothing, and the discount is alright. What is the main incentive would be that they give you a good amount of hours to work, which means that you can actually try and save some money.

Cons

While they provide a good amount of hours, the managerial staff is not very accommodating to schedule changes, even when notified with advance. So, if you are someone with a hectic/unpredictable schedule outside of work, then maybe this isn't the place for you. Its a hard medium, because they offer a good amount of hours they usually don't staff very many people.
