Pros

Great discount Great product Good benefits Great store teams Focus on health and wellness GAP brand (so you get Discounts at other brands)

Cons

Upper management acted like "mean girls". Called out employees dressed in past season clothing instead of focusing on what a great job they were doing. Little to no budget for training both managers and employees. Awful communication and no desire to act on feedback from field. My store hit so many of the goals but all we heard was negativity. Made all store employees including store management feel disposable. Upper management plays favorites and if you are not a favorite or if you speak your opinion, you are constantly under suspicion.

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
