Pros

Very good pay compared to other clothing retailers. Great Benefits!

Cons

As a manager you have to be the Manager and the worker. You must complete multiple tasks during the day while helping customers and selling. The time that is allotted for tasking is done in a closed off set with no interruptions then you are given that time to complete the work. The problem becomes that when you have customer phone calls or are helping customers it cuts into the tasking time which no one seems to notice. It makes the job very stressful because you get very little payroll and many times you cannot provide the level of service the customers deserve!

Pros

It is not difficult to get hired at The Gap, you don't need to have much prior job experience. They provide training on site and the work is not too labor intensive, unless there is a major sale. It allows you to interact with a lot of people, which can be a good or bad thing. At least in my experience, my co-workers are friendly and easy going.

Cons

The pay is not great, entry level wages. You do get an employee discount but The Gap doesn't have great clothes.

Pros

The company is on an upswing and the merchandise is better. People are committed and work hard to get the job done. You meet great people that you want to know outside of work.

Cons

Zero work life balance for exempt managers. Too much work to get done in time allotted.
