    1. "Retail Sales Associate at Urban Outfitters"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Former Employee - Retail Sales Associate in Atlanta, GA

      I worked at Urban Outfitters part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      You get to work with cool people

      Cons

      Customers can be rude and hard to deal with

      Advice to Management

      Great work

      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Urban Outfitters part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Not many, that's for sure. I could say the discount, but who wants to contribute to fast fashion anymore? If anything, I liked that there was no uniform and free will for presenting yourself and appearance in a unique environment. Very non-discriminative.

      Cons

      Poor management/leaders, no sense of team building, poor scheduling, annoying music, favoritism, unprofessional vibe, draining atmosphere, and overall highly disorganized. Training is nonexistent, the pay is little to nothing, payed to stand and look nice while folding t-shirts. 4 week call off period. VERY quick turnover.

      Advice to Management

      do better and treat employees with respect and the way they should be treated.

      I worked at Urban Outfitters part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      40% discount on most clothing items, early access to sales, fun people, great experience as a beginner job, and you can wear whatever your want.

      Cons

      Management acts like children + UO is not eco-friendly by any means.

      Advice to Management

      Management needs to grow up a little. You're not better than your employees, so stop treating them like garbage. Drink a coffee and stop acting like an angsty teen.

      I worked at Urban Outfitters part-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      The casual environment allows for an excellent opportunity to bond with people and easily make friends. I'd say the company promotes creative freedom since associates are given opportunity to help with many important tasks like merchandising.

      Cons

      The downside is I feel that a lot of employees take on responsibilities beyond what is expected and the pay does not match how hard some people work. I would expect long term employees to get better raises.
