Advice to Senior Management

Make sure that everyone is treated equally and working as a TEAM. The most difficult part of the job is not the actual work or the customers --it's dealing with management/employees who act like they are still in high school.

Great people
Adancement opporunties
Good training

Cons

Rude customers
Slow feedback
Demanding tasks for specific employees

Advice to Senior Management

Increase sales associate pay higher for loyal employees

Pros

Discount is not bad, but could be better.
The clothes.
The smell of the new clothes.
The usually upbeat attitude...

Cons

Not much room for advancement.
Absolutely no hours, maybe 4-12 a week.
No benefits for part-time employees.
Having to work around screaming children and uncaring parents.

Advice to Senior Management

Please stop hiring so many people that you can't give a regular employee decent enough hours to even get by. Absolutely absurd!

Pros

Staff events planned, management is fair and fun, opportunities to advance

Cons

retail is hardwork; sometimes attempts to be part of the community for supposedly ulterior motives is a thinly disguised attempt to increase market share.

Advice to Senior Management

management works hard; keep it up

Pros

They are fairly flexible on hours and working around your schedule. You also have a great discount at Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic.

Cons

Occasionally can be difficult to get time off around the holidays. Tended to do the same things for every shift. There was a lack of variety within the job.

Pros

-Fun to talk to co-workers
-Always willing to work around your schedule
-They definitely let you take time off, if you need it and it's not hard to get a day off
-Energetic work environment
-Fairly easy job tasks
-Hard to get fired

Cons

-Forced you to push Old Navy Cards
-Not enough hours (though they were constantly calling about a day you were SUPPOSED to have off and wanted you to come in)
-Schedule is all over the place (you will work mornings and evenings and everything in between)

Advice to Senior Management

Nothing really, the only thing I'd say is for them to offer Full Time work for their beloved employees.

Pros

They were very flexible with my schedule and worked to ensure I was well trained.

Cons

The customers were sometimes very rude and I saw no opportunities for career advancement.

Pros

Discounts and few friends I made there

Cons

Lied to, very few hours! I worked 1-2 days a week with only a 3 hour shift each time. Unless you're a manager or key holder you don't get hours

Advice to Senior Management

They need to explain things regally about rules and regulations. And make each employee feel like they're doing a good job. Instead of just cutting hours down to nothing and pushing them out the door. The higher the turnover rate and more employees each store has, the more the managers got paid. And they get paid salary so they don't care about anyone but themselves

Pros

Some of the people you work with are great.

Cons

Work load to much for little pay. Customers are rude.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat everyone equal.. no favorites.
