Pros

The discount is nice. It is also transferrable between Gap and Banana Republic too. Flexability of hours isn't too bad. However, watch out for management schedule changes. Bonuses are also nice-"when you get them."

Cons

Ridiculous expectations on staff and management. They want you to produce millions without spending anything. Lack of payroll is a major issue. Another issue is also the lack of communication on what the plans are from the corporate side of downsizing/restructuring. You show up to work one day and are brought into the office to be told that your position has been eliminated.

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.
