Current Employee – been working at American Eagle Outfitters full-time for more than a year
Pros – Great environment, Friendly people, Lots of perks, New-ish CEO that has his head on straight and his game face on. That game face usually comes with a smile and a great attitude.
Cons – Understaffed for the amount of work coming threw. Management has a tendency to "goof off" a little too much and hand down their responsibilities to the remainder of the team. Perks are used to blind you from the negative aspects of the company. HR is incredibly slow and doesn't respond properly to situations that need some looking into. But, HEY! you got tickets to the Pirates game thats all that matters right?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
