1.2 Help improve the training experience overall for new management and associates. Have more fun in the store. The Gap is a snotty environment to work in and it comes across through management that the store is more concerned about making money and getting credit cards than it is about having a good time, helping customers, and making the store a great shopping environment. I know in many cases I have seen teams concentrate on customer service, yet I still see the anxious abilities to badger and push customers away from the store with talks of credit cards and making $100+ purchases to the point customers begin shopping online more or come less frequently as they find a newer store who isn't as concerned with credit cards.

2 Pros: - Beautiful building. - Everyone is very nice. Cons: - You silently stare in the eyes of a co-worker for 10 minutes every morning (this is not a joke). - No flexibility with work hours. - Required to attend 3 day long pep rallies, work weekends, and sales meetings after hours with no pay compensation. - Whether or not you are a consultant you must go through an extensive consultant training program. - Things move at a snails pace, everything requires the approval of a lot of different people. - You are forced to share your feelings and personal life, with a microphone, in front of 250 people. - Overbearing environment. - It feels like a bunch of kids are trying to act like adults and play office (doesn't feel like real work, you constantly do things and think "why are we doing this..." with the answer always being "it builds connectivity/affinity). - You do exercises and attend meetings more than you actually work. - You are encouraged to take on new roles and accountabilities and are not compensated other than a pat on the back. - People tell each other "I love you" way more than is comfortable (this started after my first month, very uncomfortable). - They want to enroll your friends and family into their programs, they never stop asking. - Starting pay is well below the average. - A lot of workers (at least half) are married/ family, there is a heavy bias because of this. - Zero tolerance for working remotely/ flex schedule (very "breakthrough"). I have not felt this uncomfortable since High School.

2.2 I worked in Gap's Warehouse for 2 years. They have great employee discounts and the benefits are good. However, management staff and supervisors are two of the same type so they have to cover each other's backs. Racism is very strong in this warehouse; management and supervisors are playing a big roll in this. You will get heavier workloads because of your body structure and forget about rotation. Supervisors will harass you about productivity for your entire shift 10-hour shift. I went through some very unfortunate and terrible experiences working for Gap, and I'm brave enough to say ME TOO. I filed many complaints to HR and they did nothing to help me, but instead enabled it. Corruption is strong in this management team and with the supervisors as well. If you are black, you will be at the bottom of the barrel. I was sexually harassed, bullied, discriminated against, harassed, retaliated against...etc These people have no compassion and are very much heartless. The person who selected these groups of people, to operate and run this company needs to be evaluated. Employees look to management for guidance, but management is not doing a fair job at all. They are abusing their employees, especially blacks and some women. The Gap needs real changes in its company policies and to start communicating more with of its employees. Consequences for supervisors bad behaviors is a must.
