Pros

It is a mindless job that you should keep only while you are in college. It is fun if you are an associate, with no true responsibility. You can call in sick many, many times and you will not get fired. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to lose your job with this company, unless you steal. This is another good reason to work at Old Navy, all you late night college party goers. But as for working as a manager in this company...forget about it. This company is not worth it.

Cons

The job is boring and it is a clothing company producing product that is of inferior quality. It is not a company for someone with a college degree. Sometimes you have to fight to get your PTO approved, and when it is approved you get called into work. The company talks about the "work life balance" but it has never balanced out for me. I am lucky to get one week off a year, and that is a struggle. You have to constantly work around the associates personal life and if you don't they will quit faster than you hired them. Corporate changes plans about what they want to do ussually before the ink on the paper dries, making it a struggle to get anything done.

Pros

The best reason to work for old navy is that it is a job and you do get paid, so if worse comes to worse you are making money at least. For some people I am sure it can be a fine job, but if you do not like to do all the tedious work do not take the job at this company.

Cons

The downside to this company is having to close which can keep you at the store till 4 in the morning at times. Also the way you have to hassle customers to get credit cards. If you do not get a lot of accounts opened they limit your hours.

Pros

The employee discount. The workplace/store atmosphere.

Cons

Must be really flexible as hours(times & amount) change constantly. If you cannot work a shift you must get another employee to cover for you or you have to work it, even if you cannot. You need to be flexible enough to put up with the ever changing work hours. Some weeks may get 25hrs and other weeks only 8hrs!
