Current Employee – been working at Old Navy part-time for less than a year

Pros – - The other employees are really nice (most of them, anyway).
- The pay rate for an associate is above minimum wage-- not by much, but every little bit helps in this awful economy.
- AWESOME employee discount.
- There's always something that needs to be done, so you're rarely bored.
- Every day is a different experience.
- If you help with stuff like product placement, you get an awesome workout!

Cons – - Not enough hours, especially if you're a new associate. If it weren't for this issue, I would give the company five stars. I feel like I could contribute so much more to my job if they would schedule me more often.
- Some of the customers are really mean and entitled.
- Sometimes it feels like the management cares more about how many ONCs you sell than the overall quality of your customer service.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop making the ONCs the highest priority and give more opportunities for extra hours.

Former Employee – worked at Old Navy part-time for less than a year

Pros – Fun work environment, younger staff, treated with respect most of the time.

Cons – Because the staff is made up mostly of girls and a few guys in their early twenties, there is a lot of drama from time to time. There tends to be a lot of talking behind each others back and like any time you have 20+ girls working together, there is always going to be some behind the scenes competition and cattiness. As long as you watch you back and don't let it get to you, there shouldn't be any issues.

Current Employee – been working at Old Navy part-time for more than a year

Pros – Employee discount is 25% off, Great management team, if you are going to school while you work its very easy for them to work with your availability. Pay is about the same as in other retail stores but moving up is easy.

Cons – They push you to offer Old navy credit cards to every customer and they almost worship the employees that can get a lot of people to sign up. As with most clothes retail, the store can get messy so there is a lot of folding and refolding the same areas.

Advice to Senior Management – Back off of the ONC's a little bit, besides that great job.
