Pros

Unlike employees at many other retail stores, persons working at the Gap will only have an on-call time at the end of regularly scheduled hours. Also, management is required to inform you of your on-call status well before you are scheduled to leave. The Gap offers a great discount program that includes percentages off at Bannana Republic, Old Navy and Piperlime.Com. They also offer monthly coupons for employees to get new items for a very, very low pricce.

Cons

The visual standards are very high, so if you don't like to be detailed this is not the store for you! The managers will not hold you over your regularly scheduled time, but they may ask if you can stay until the store has been perfected. If you are scheduled late at night or early in the morning, be prepared to do a lot of straightening and stocking!

Pros

The employee discount is awesome-being able to use it at all 3 brands Gap Inc. owns. Gap managers are some of the most well-rounded managers in the business. They get their feet wet in all aspects of running a business-managing employees, owning/running the business aspect, HR, etc. In these economic times it is nice to work for a very stable company.

Cons

Due to the fact that it is such a large company sometimes it feels very "corporatey."

Pros

Great discount that is applicable to sister brands Old Navy and Banana Republic. Flexible scheduling. Work as a holiday temp & stock up!

Cons

Poor management that are snooty, snobby and cliquish. They constantly look down on Sales Associate. No appreciate whatsoever. No ability to recognize hardworking employees versus lazy employees. No recognition of people's past work experience & how they can bring their talents/skills to the Gap.
