Pros

Co-workers are actually cool people. This the second Old Navy that I have worked at, I work also worked in Illinois, they were also very nice.

Cons

Every year they seem to really push the Old Navy card more and more. The corparate headquarters really needs to get feedback from management and associates in the stores get a better idea how to run these stores better. I really think that if they listened to the workforce in the stores they might get better insight to what does and doesn't sell well in the stores and how to keep employees somewhat happy. Instead of spending 42 million on new advertising with mannequins.

Pros

You might meet some lifelong friends! Long tenure if you are willing to give up everything to try to be a successful employee Good EAP program for short term intensive therapy…

Cons

Public criticism, condescending communication, inconsistent accountability, and fear-based management styles became increasingly common. Feedback often felt reactive rather than constructive, and many employees did not feel psychologically safe speaking openly about concerns. There was also a significant lack of consistency between leaders and stores. Expectations changed constantly, communication was often unclear, and favoritism sometimes impacted accountability and decision-making. Long-term employees who consistently stepped up during difficult periods often felt taken for granted rather than appreciated. Reporting to HR will get you no where. You will be gaslit if you choose to speak up.
