Pros

-Old Navy provides very flexible hours so you are able to work between classes, on weekends, or nights. -Best discounts for employees around with 25% on old navy, and 50% off at banana and gap. -Get to work with peers -Easy to transfer from store to store when I go home for the holidays or summers.

Cons

-Very little opportunity for advancement. Old Navy often does not promote from within the store. -Even if sales are ok work hours tend to be cut to the point where part timers get 10 hours or less in a week. -Pay raises average around $0.30 a year -Very little ability to be independent with constant micromanaging -Endless policies and procedures -Customers are often rude -If you see someone shoplifting you can't do anything and if you do do something then you will have to attend court for the shoplifter's hearing and not be compensated for time or gas and will not be accompanied by a manager. -Management often plays favorites -If you do not get Old Navy cards you will be terminated by essentially never getting hours. -Whether you have worked there a month or 8 years you will be treated as a 5 year old. -The store gets unreasonably messy and you must clean it in an unrealistic amount of time.

Pros

offered some benefits, no pros besides that

Cons

Very cliquey management, the general manager had clear favorites and treated other employees as disposable and inadequate. Also did not provide training for proprietary software but still expected me to be able to operate it on day 2, and senior staff became aggressive and demeaning when I was unable to operate a software I received no training for. There was also occasional pressure from management to purchase clothing from the store during special events or sales to fit the theme of the event. Overall hostile work environment, would not recommend.
