Pros

I worked at 2 stores: loved one, hated the other. The first one was one of the largest in the country and the management was pretty good (although too many cooks in the kitchen). Opportunities to advance were awesome. Environment was fun, professional and supportive. Then I transferred states and stores. The new store was run poorly and it showed--high employee turnover, disorganized management and low morale.

Cons

Hands-off corporate management can be good or bad, depending on the quality of store managers. Store management is like a private club.

Pros

Company always thinks about emplyees with benefits. As Gap inc is a SPA brans I could learn the whole process from production to retailing working as an MR.

Cons

Merchants has an unbeatable power.. I admire their ability to make an important decision. Now I'm planning to study more and sit on the same chair with Merchants in SF. Wil lbe back with more details once my dream's come true!

Pros

fun place to interact with fellow employees and customers. loved getting all the new merchandise in the store & an ever changing pace.

Cons

was constantly short managers so therefore didn't get a lot of time to even consider taking more than 4 days off in a row.
