Pros
The benefits are decent. Pay was more or less in line with expectations. Outwardly the culture was welcoming and inclusive. There are multiple employees with tenure of 15+ years. There are opportunities to transfer between organizational groups. A company that truly focuses on equality. The employees seem to care for their brands and the stores they support. Athleta and Old Navy are helping turn the company around. Innovative products at Athleta and the push to integrate some of the new technology with current brands should improve the future outlook for the company. Healthy balance sheet should insulate Gap from temporary market pressure (see: Edgar).
Cons
The company's stock price continues to decline despite meeting or beating market predictions (public filings, investor calls and notes, and web search for stock history support this assertion). This stock pressure combined with the recent layoffs (2016) and having investment bankers and consultants running the company results in an awkward feeling at the corporate office. Job security is lacking and there were several hundred layoffs last year and multiple WARN filings. This combined with the restructuring left the remaining employees to pick up the load. Work life balance has suffered in the past several years as a result of downsizing. The main discount (50% off at Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic & 25% off Athleta) seems wonderful until you realize the brands (Old Navy, Gap, & Banana Republic) have 40%-50% off sales pretty much every month. These values may change and can generally be found via Google search or GlassDoor reviews.
