      Great place to work if you have no life...

      Pros

      The company is on an upswing and the merchandise is better. People are committed and work hard to get the job done. You meet great people that you want to know outside of work.

      Cons

      Zero work life balance for exempt managers. Too much work to get done in time allotted.

      Gap is a fun place to work, but only temporarily.

      Pros

      In my experience, it was a generally friendly atmosphere.

      Cons

      Management, from store-level to region-level, is, overall, overwhelmingly incompetent across brands. The reliance upon GapCard promotions gets rather annoying. As an incredibly popular chain, the holidays are always crazy, and a lot of work has to go into store maintenance year round. Often, though semi-attributable to the failing economy, stores are completely understaffed, so one person often ends up with the duties that would normally be allotted to two to four people.

      Don't invest your time.

      Pros

      It's a fun environment to work in if you're young and enjoy the merchandise. It was rare to see anyone older working there. It was a way for me to pass the time during a summer in school, and I don't think I would have been interested in continuing my employment there even if they offered me a store manager position. Then again, managers who were in place were there for a very long time, so I'm sure if would have been tough to secure a spot period. The discount is pretty good, especially since it can be applied to all brands.

      Cons

      Long hours and total lack of respect of management. I felt like a work horse, and never received any positive feedback for what I did right.
