Fun & Friendly Environment, Not Enough Pay

Cash Handler (Current Employee)

I have been working at Old Navy part-time for more than 3 years

ProsOld Navy is an excellent company to work for. Its a fun environment with a lot of fun events. Excellent discounts at Old Navy (25%), Gap (50%), and Banana Republic (50%). Flexible schedule/hours. Can take vacations whenever. You receive little pressure from managers to do certain tasks.

ConsThe one reason why I am unhappy with Old Navy is because of the pay. I have been a part-time employee (Cash Handler) for 4 1/2 years, and I am still not making $8 an hour. I don't show up late, I never call out... i'm pretty much a perfect employee. This was my first and only job I have ever had, so I started out making minimum wage which is probably why I am still not making as much as I like. It stinks because management has no control over your pay, as it is an underlying corporate issue.

Advice to Senior ManagementPLEASE talk to corporate about your employees' pay! Some employees could feel discomfort by asking for a raise... theres probably a lot of other employees besides me that are discouraged by their current pay....

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

very fun

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at Old Navy part-time for less than a year

ProsI was hired as a seasonal associate, and was only kept for the seasonal period.
Overall, this was a very good first job in retail. The hours were very manageable and were easy to balance with school and other activities. Everyone I met was very helpful.

ConsI only was kept for the seasonal period and was never trained on the registers.

old navy sales associate position

Sales Associate (Former Employee)
Vancouver, BC (Canada)

I worked at Old Navy part-time for more than a year

ProsFun, energetic, creative environment. Would definitely highly recommend to others. Atmosphere in store largely depends on people directly in charge, so floor leaders more than managers.

ConsEarly hours, no real training, very scattered tasks when working.

Great job for getting through college.

Sales Associate (Current Employee)
Almonesson, NJ (US)

I have been working at Old Navy part-time for more than 3 years

ProsExtremely flexible with scheduling, compensation/pay is much higher than other retail positions, co-workers are friendly, managers are generally helpful and friendly, work isn't difficult, overall freedom in work (managers are generally not breathing down your neck).

ConsSometimes can be understaffed which creates issues in keeping store clean, while the freedom is nice, sometimes there isn't enough direction, hours are extremely competitive and during off-season there is a significant decrease in available shifts.

It's What You Make of It

I worked at Old Navy part-time for more than 3 years

ProsGreat atmosphere and employee benefits. Part of Gap Inc. so the growth opportunities are plenty.

ConsHours inconsistent. Many times you are scheduled and if the store is slow they make you go home several hours early.

Advice to Senior ManagementShow a little more concern for associates' time.

Old Navy is one of my all time favorite jobs!

Sales Associate (Current Employee)
Lincoln City, OR (US)

I have been working at Old Navy part-time for more than a year

ProsExcellent store management. Positive feedback, recognition and incentives. Teammates are a variety of ages and backgrounds making each shift interesting and fun. Old Navy clientele are run the gamut from the woman with the Michael Kors bag to the single dad with kids getting back to school clothes. Each day is an opportunity to help someone new.

ConsWork as a sales associate can be repetitive.

Advice to Senior ManagementStart sales associates at a wage that is higher than minimum hourly.
