Pros

Old Navy is a perfect place to work if you're still in highschool and don't mind working 3 hours shifts and maybe get 12 hours a week. Old Navy offers an ok discount on the merchandise, you receive recognition and feedback once in awhile for a job well done, although the management usually just takes all the credit. The majority of non-management employees are great people and make for a better experience for a first job. LIttle supervision for those people who like to stand around and talk all day rather than work. Management sits in the office for the most part.

Cons

Old Navy gives few hours, offers few full time positions, don't count on being a regular full time associate unless you're in management. Old Navy offers benefits for full and part time employees, but the benefits for part time employees suck and don't cover as many expenses, they are also outrageous in cost and anyone working part time could never afford the insurance anyway. They may pay for a college course here and there if youre a full time employee, but make sure you read the fine print. They do not take entry level candidates for various positions. $38,000 down the drain for school and no where to go.

Pros

You get a great discount between Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic. The environment is usually very exciting, especially on busy days. You gain a lot of friends. I worked for Gap Inc for 6 years and my best friends are co-workers.

Cons

The company really doesn't provide enough payroll. We get 7 hours to train new employees. With those 7 hours you have to do their orientation, train them on either cash wrap or shipment, train them in fitting room, sales floor, recovery and Old Navy credit card. Orientation usually takes about 4 hours and you really can't focus enough on the rest individually in just 3 hours. I think the prices are too high nowadays. There haven't been a lot of good sales lately, but given some recent promotions that seems to be changing.

Pros

Fun people, nice work environment, easy high school/college job, plus discounts at Old Navy, GAP, and Banana Republic. Most of your time will be spent on the cash register or folding clothes.

Cons

You can make more money with other part time jobs (i.e. Pizza delivery). On-Call policy sometimes sucks too. You have to call in 2 hours before a "On Call" shift to see if you have to come in or not. Made planning things somewhat of a hassle.
