I'm legitimately cracking up right now. Our corporate team has a new senior associate, and they clearly don't understand how things go regarding interacting with our tax department. We have a strict priority list, and we don't take on work after 3. on Friday. It encourages corporate people to come to us early in the process. This new senior wrote me a passive-aggressive email and CC'd a tax partner who just ripped him apart and told him that we don't run our firm like a Banana Republic.

    Pros

    the only reason I stayed for the time I did was for the employee discount really and also my coworkers were amazing.

    Cons

    toxic work environment, managers hire too many teenagers who aren't much help to the store, managers will also sometimes throw you under the bus when it comes to sticking to the store policies. That also brings up the reason why i left, the customers here are the rudest people ever, they seem to have no respect, class, and think they are so entitled.

    Pros

    Banana has a great clothing line that is easy to sell. Employees are given 50% discount on full price items and 10% sale items.

    Cons

    Very poor hourly wage with few attainable incentives. A good part time employee (25/week) has more opportunity to earn a 1% commission that full-time employees (32-39/week).

    Pros

    Gap Inc. is a great company to work for! They are very active in community projects. Gap Inc. provides excellent benefits including 401K and tuition reimbursement to all employees as well as employee discounts to all three brands.

    Cons

    Management at the store level is horrible. Over the years, management has changed due to the increasing pressure from corporate. Since online sales have hurt business, managers are taking their frustrations out on sales associates when they can’t meet their sales and credit card goals.
