Pros

Great discount at all GAP brands, great managers and fellow associates, great customers. You get a decent starting wage as an associate and there is room for growth within the company if you make it known to your managers that you are looking to move up. If you volunteer, GAP will convert your volunteer hours into a dollar amount and donate it to the organization you volunteered for.

Cons

Inconsistent hours. Scheduling is based on how the store did the previous year and what the daily goal/budget is. There's usually more managers scheduled than associates, which means if you're the only associate scheduled for the morning or evening, then you're pretty much by yourself since the managers usually do office work in the back.

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
