Gap reviews

The Gap is very corporate and structured which makes it hard to advance in a short time.

Corporate management fip flops on a lot of issues, which makes working on the front line difficult, because the message you give customers one day will inevitably change the next. Expect to work long hours& working over the holidays is mandatory. Depending on your store, management can be largely ineffective and don't always provide the leadership necessary to train new employees - this responsibility often falls to other sales associates. If you don't have a management position, forget about any sort of recognition or compensation (i.e., bonus) for a job well done - your management team will gladly take this on your behalf. Slackers and idiots are kept on staff, which means double the work load for those employees who are actually competent and interested in doing a good job.
