      What you gain is directly related to self motivation and knowing the right people...

      Pros

      Fun oriented company with interesting and creative co-workers. Leaders are willing to let employees take risks. There are some amazing mentors and bosses within the organization.

      Cons

      Leaders are incredibly hands off when things aren't going well. It can feel like luck of the draw getting assigned to functional departments, mentors and bosses. The good managers know just how bad the bad managers are yet take no action. Middle and upper management spends more time on politics and finger pointing than doing any real work - many leaders are not capable of performing their direct reports roles or giving any valuable coaching/feedback on how to improve.

      Gap - a great start for a young professional; however, a long term career is only in the eye of the beholder.

      Pros

      Developing a social network and a good way to get an early taste of the corporate experience if you are a young professional.

      Cons

      The development of a social network that includes people who you work with in a professional manner. Lack of business growth leading to lack of professional growth opportunities for employees.

      Pros

      Management allows you to have very flexible work hours. They are very accomodating of your needs outside work (i.e family and outside life). Gap Inc is also a very socially responsible company and they put in a lot of effort and resoutces to ensure that workers in their factories are treated fairly and are paid a fair living wage. Also, due to the huge workload that they give you there is really a great opportunity to learn a lot through doing. Leadership is very competent and we have a lot of trust and respect in the job they are doing. They are also excellent at comminucating information down to the lower levels.

      Cons

      Gap Inc runs a very lean workforce at the headquarters. As such they give a lot of responsibility to individual contributors. Workload is huge. This means that there are a lot of late nights and long hours during certain busy times. Also, although they let you work independently, because the organization is so lean there are not too many opportunities to get promoted once you get past an entry level position. Gap inc is a very merchant driven company. As such they hold a lot of power over what happens on a day to day business. At times it feels like they wield too much authority over decisions and processes while the other functions are just forced to go along with their decisions.
