Pros

Gap has a great training program that ensures you obtain the skills necessary to do your job. You are usually surrounded by some of the brightest and talented people in the industry. The culture is very casual and informal, allowing you to truly be yourself.

Cons

Management style is tops-down. It's difficult to develop a sense of an ownership of the business when you don't have a say in the final outcome. There is a lot of hand holding. It is hard to weed out the bad apples when nobody is allowed to fail. It's frustrating to work alongside someone that is incompetent and the person has the same title and pay grade.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere. There are many great people working at he corporate offices who care about what they do. Gap has a strong social conscience and does try to do the best thing for the employee.

Cons

As a longtime employee I saw a lot. Many new policiies and procedures are rolled out without seeking insight from middle management. There was always a certain degree of arrogance on the part of senior management. And the turnover for vice presidents and above was extremely high. I hope it's improved - for the sake of the company. I still believe in this company based on the employees - not necessarily the senior management.
