Pros
Management allows you to have very flexible work hours. They are very accomodating of your needs outside work (i.e family and outside life). Gap Inc is also a very socially responsible company and they put in a lot of effort and resoutces to ensure that workers in their factories are treated fairly and are paid a fair living wage. Also, due to the huge workload that they give you there is really a great opportunity to learn a lot through doing. Leadership is very competent and we have a lot of trust and respect in the job they are doing. They are also excellent at comminucating information down to the lower levels.
Cons
Gap Inc runs a very lean workforce at the headquarters. As such they give a lot of responsibility to individual contributors. Workload is huge. This means that there are a lot of late nights and long hours during certain busy times. Also, although they let you work independently, because the organization is so lean there are not too many opportunities to get promoted once you get past an entry level position. Gap inc is a very merchant driven company. As such they hold a lot of power over what happens on a day to day business. At times it feels like they wield too much authority over decisions and processes while the other functions are just forced to go along with their decisions.
