Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Abercrombie & Fitch part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – I had a wonderful experience here. I started at Abercrombie kids when I was 17 and when the store was shut down, moved over to Abercrombie. It was mindless work with a great atmosphere and amazing people to work with. I liked the fact that the managers weren't much older than I was as they were easy to get along with but still very efficient at their job. I worked here for 5 years and after going off to college I loved having the ability to still work when I came home on breaks and
summer.

Cons – I honestly don't have any cons! I loved working on the floor, register and assisting in floor designs. My only con is any position in retail where you're constantly refolding clothes, but you should know what you're getting in to!

Advice to Senior Management – The Champaign store has closed, and its been 6 years since I've left, but I had a fantastic experience here!

Pros – you get 30% off clothing with the quarterly 50% so you can always wear the new styles, online management of hours/days off, flexible.

Cons – managers aren't much more experienced than you, the work day goes by really slow, all you do is fold clothes and say "hey what's up" to whoever walks in, no room for growth, horrible pay, retail hours.

Advice to Senior Management – instead of making us re-apply to be a manager you should look to those who have worked hardest and longest.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Abercrombie & Fitch full-time for more than a year

Pros – -Schedule flexibility: if you really needed a certain day off, you can easily switch your working days and off days with another manager just as long as he/she is willing to.
-Health benefits: I haven't signed up myself because I lost the opportunity to but my store manager told me the benefits are great.

Cons – -The company seeks to hire associates who adhere to the look policy. Therefore, managers may work with associates who may fit the company's look but not necessarily have working experience. Working with associates who may be as young as high school students tend to have less responsibilities and those who aren't high school students. Thus, they may not even show up for their shifts.

Advice to Senior Management – I understand the company seeks to hire associate who fit the company's brand and looks. However, this does not create the most effective and productive working experience since the basis of employment is not working experience or how well he/she can carry out a given task.
As someone who has worked at the kids store, pumping up the volume seemed unnecessary. Most of the customers were parents and most had difficulty with the music.

Former Employee – worked at Abercrombie & Fitch part-time for more than a year

Pros – you meet some great people, you're managers are mostly around your age so you definitely can connect with them easily. The job is very easy, you just walk around, greet people, and fold clothes.

Cons – the look policy of the company is a little too demanding. also you don't have much room for growth and promotions. you're stuck in the same position.

Advice to Senior Management – You should really consider hiring undergraduates as managers, many are definitely qualified for the position. you guys require a four year college degree, for not a very hard job.
