What is working from home like at American Eagle Outfitters?

Flexible work from home schedule, free parking in office, merchandise discount, cheap concert tickets perk

The corporation pushes an inclusivity narrative on paper, but that’s not in practice with this department- particularly with neurodiversity and mental health advocacy. The “open concept” office was distracting (even in “quiet zones” you can clearly hear people, including management/leadership, gossiping about each other). The company offers medical leave, but department leadership will quietly retaliate if you actually use it. I was excited to work here, but from day one it was 100% clear that many coworkers and the manager operated like a sorority. I tried to keep to myself as much as possible, but management pushes “engagement and participation” by scheduling meetings where everyone is required to discuss Buzzfeed Quiz results or literally do “show and tell” with a personal item. Seriously. The company has plenty of clubs for those that want to socialize and make friends.. please don’t treat your team like a Girl Scout Troop.

work from home is very nice culture is very progressive very collaborative

passed up for promotions do not hire/promote a lot

Very straightforward, coworkers were helpful and nice, WFH 2 days a week

As an intern I felt I wasnt taken super seriously, I wish I was given more responsibilities

Good values. For the most part, there are good people who work here, if you can avoid cliquey teams. Good benefits - free therapy. Dogs in office. No dress code. Very flexible WFH / hybrid schedule.

Very low pay - every single associate feels inadequately paid. Doesn't always practice what the culture preaches. Terrible managerial skills and no 360 performance reviews.
