Pros

The only perk is the Employee Discount. 50%-off at Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy. As much as I hated working there I appreciated the cheap clothing.

Cons

The management team is incompetent. Way too micromanaging to make ANY employee happy. Insufficient training allows for employees to get in trouble for rule infractions they were not warned against. My interview was so misleading, the Store Manager was cheerful and smily bringing me to believe this was a joyful workplace. To my surprise, the woman NEVER smiled or even talked to hourly employee's during when in the work place. If I had known working for the GAP was going to be so stifling I would not have accepted the offer. There is no room for personality or minor creative freedom. I am extremely disappointed with my experience working for the GAP. I expected more from a company that puts up a great public face.

Pros

Hourly rate is decent and pays weekly

Cons

Managers think they are above everyone even when they have as much potential as a goldfish in life. We are pushed to get customers to sign up for a store credit card which is one of the worst credit cards I’ve seen. Your worth at this company is dependent on how many credit cards you can get which is so dehumanizing. Horrible culture and company to work for.
