      Gap, great teams, mediocre benies+salary, limited career paths, long hours, and lots of midlevel management dead wood.

      Pros

      Decent benefits, okay salaries. Gap's creative teams are incredibly talented, joining those teams, and working with the people that actually do all the work, make the mid level management BS bearable.

      Cons

      As a creative, very little opportunity for advancement in the field of your choice. All recognition is taken by the mid level management. Very little respect and recognition given by mid level management to the people that do the work, which degrades employee morale quickly. With all the downsizing over the last few years, Work/Life Balance is decidedly Work heavy.

      What you gain is directly related to self motivation and knowing the right people...

      Pros

      Fun oriented company with interesting and creative co-workers. Leaders are willing to let employees take risks. There are some amazing mentors and bosses within the organization.

      Cons

      Leaders are incredibly hands off when things aren't going well. It can feel like luck of the draw getting assigned to functional departments, mentors and bosses. The good managers know just how bad the bad managers are yet take no action. Middle and upper management spends more time on politics and finger pointing than doing any real work - many leaders are not capable of performing their direct reports roles or giving any valuable coaching/feedback on how to improve.

      Gap - a great start for a young professional; however, a long term career is only in the eye of the beholder.

      Pros

      Developing a social network and a good way to get an early taste of the corporate experience if you are a young professional.

      Cons

      The development of a social network that includes people who you work with in a professional manner. Lack of business growth leading to lack of professional growth opportunities for employees.
