Urban Outfitters Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Not worth your time and energy. Lied to on multiple occasions and was set up for failure."

"I worked for UO for many years."

"I have worked for Urban Outfitters for 4 years now and have learned what it really takes to run a business in all aspects. I have learned how to market to a certain crowd, how to analyze sales from last year to push sales for this year, and how to effectively manage a team."

"UO is set for success since they are always ahead of the trend, in terms of fashion on business expertise."

"Overall, the company's culture was great. However, it is difficult to move up and the pay was not great."

"I have been working for Urban Outfitters Inc. (Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, and Free People) for 4 years. While there is a great culture at the company, upward mobility is difficult. Working across 3 brands can also be challenging because there are numerous stakeholders involved in every decision."

"I absolutely love the vibe, culture and the mission of Urban Outfitters as a company. I am very thankful for the skills that I was able to develop as well as the relationships that I built while with the company. As with all companies to some degree, the mission is not always maintained all the way down to a store level. The opportunity for growth and advancement seems to cap as you approach the level of store management."

"I have worked for the company for almost three years and I make a dollar more an hour than when I started. I started at minimum wage. My store manager is racist and unprofessional, yet she has worked for the company for seven years. Moving up is not based on hard-work and time, it is based on whether or not the store manager likes you. I used to be very passionate about the company and I strived to build a career at Urban Outfitters, but sales seem to be more important than a happy staff."
