Battered and bruised by Gap

Pros

Wonderful discounts, good benefits, in-house cafeteria with pretty good food. The headquarters in San Francisco had an in-house art gallery focusing on the art collection of the founders, the Fischer family.

Cons

Eat or be eaten. Everyone is very supportive to your face, and will cut you down the minute you turn your back. Management changes often, and that means you will be doing an about-face every time you get a new manager.

Pros

It is a huge company so there are tons of opportunities to move around if you are still trying to figure out your career path. I really enjoy working with the people, the team is dynamic and very collaborative.

Cons

With the company struggling, headcount is being cut, but workload does not change. Leadership likes to talk about simplification and cutting out unneccessary work, but being detail oriented is so engrained in the culture that it seems like it is just talk, no action. Leadership also tends to play favorites, if they don't like you (even if you are capable and you produce results) your options in terms of career progression, are limited.
