Pros

Athleta inspires its coworkers to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Since it is owned by Gap, Inc., it is gaining more and more recognition.

Cons

The managers are constantly changing and it gets very frustrating because it is not very organized at all. We are never formally informed when a manager or anyone leaves. It used to be a tight family and know we have no idea who still works there. Also, upper management loves to change setups and layouts after sending directives. This makes it very hectic and difficult to cooperate when it is easy to predict when things are going to change.

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.
