Pros

There are smart, talented employees & a 50% off clothing discount. The company is recognized for hiring outstanding employees within the retail industry. There are volunteer opportunities which you can do during your work schedule.

Cons

There are a lot of office politics so even though you are talented you may not get recognized. Also because it is a retail company there are a lot of last minute change requests which can be stressful and frustrating. The company has seen its better days and there can be layoffs.

Pros

Great employee discount and flexible hours. And since this is a well-known and established retailer working here looks good on a resume. There is also room for advancement within the company as well and they have an excellent training program if you are looking to climb the corporate ladder. Payscale could use some improvement however. Overall, good place to work and since the hours are flexible it's great for students as well as people just starting out in their career. I would definitely recommend employment at the Gap for people who want to work for a well known, established retailer.

Cons

Annoying customers who always think they are right.

Pros

If you are an employee, you get a great discount on clothing. Great social responsibility programs and the people are very nice. The cafe is good and most of the company HQ buildings are in nice locations and beautiful.

Cons

Small-thinking, not very innovative, not interested in new ideas from workers, highly risk-avers management, much more conservative than their reputation suggests.
