Pros

Gap offers a strong brand and resources dedicated towards employee training and development. Also good benefits - generous PTO, employee discounts, etc.

Cons

Very difficult to transfer between departments so not a good place for long-term development unless you really love retail. Compensation is below average. Promotions and raises are based more on politics than performance. Little to no emphasis on management training so you may be managed by people with limited skills and ability.

Pros

Good health benefits, some 401k match

12 hour shifts, subpar bonus', limited upward mobility as managers and upper management did not want to promote from within and risk operational change causing productivity decline
