Old Navy Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Old Navy part-time

Pros – All my managers really care about their employees. I like how when I told my boss that I didn't like working shipment they just stopped scheduling me for it. Since it is a large company there are lots of seasonal employees which is great for regular employees who can take a little time off during the holidays if needed.

Cons – Old Navy really pushed Old Navy cards and it becomes rather annoying at times. The store is always a little bit of a mess!

Advice to Senior Management – Train employees more on Old Navy cards, an don't push them so hard to get them. Also I feel like you should train employees on how to fold, it seems like such a simple task but some people are just horrible at it and as a result the store looks worse than it should.

Current Employee – been working at Old Navy part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Friendly place, not based on commission, inviting environment, great opportunities to move up in management,

Cons – I believe even store managers are only part-time workers so although there are opportunities to move up, I don't know if hours will change dramatically. Also with moving up with positions you can be moved quite a bit to different locations, quite often.

May not get trained like your suppose to
Some job responsibility may get lost

Advice to Senior Management – Make sure all supervisors are properly training new employees, I trained but it got rushed because she scheduled the training hours and it conflicted with the time she was suppose to get off of work.

Pros – - The other employees are really nice (most of them, anyway).
- The pay rate for an associate is above minimum wage-- not by much, but every little bit helps in this awful economy.
- AWESOME employee discount.
- There's always something that needs to be done, so you're rarely bored.
- Every day is a different experience.
- If you help with stuff like product placement, you get an awesome workout!

Cons – - Not enough hours, especially if you're a new associate. If it weren't for this issue, I would give the company five stars. I feel like I could contribute so much more to my job if they would schedule me more often.
- Some of the customers are really mean and entitled.
- Sometimes it feels like the management cares more about how many ONCs you sell than the overall quality of your customer service.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop making the ONCs the highest priority and give more opportunities for extra hours.

Former Employee – worked at Old Navy part-time for less than a year

Pros – Fun work environment, younger staff, treated with respect most of the time.

Cons – Because the staff is made up mostly of girls and a few guys in their early twenties, there is a lot of drama from time to time. There tends to be a lot of talking behind each others back and like any time you have 20+ girls working together, there is always going to be some behind the scenes competition and cattiness. As long as you watch you back and don't let it get to you, there shouldn't be any issues.
