Brand Associate
May - August 2019 • Fargo, ND
What I liked
I liked working with apparel and accessories and using my own creativity in assembling displays and bringing a good energy to the stores atmosphere.
What I wish was different
I wish the register training had been more thoroughly explained. I felt like I could have used far more information in my training for the register and did not feel prepare.
Advice
My best piece of advice would be to give it a try and see how you enjoy working in the retail world. When you are surrounded by enjoyable people who enjoy their job as well, it is really fun. I personally very much so enjoyed the atmosphere of Old Navy. It felt very judgement free.

July 2016 - November 2019 • Sunbury, OH
What I liked
My co workers were great and the pay was good.
What I wish was different
The managers were not in sync with each other and the company as a whole does not really care about their employees.

May - August 2019 • Orem, UT
What I liked
If you did a good job, the managers recognized that and were willing to work with you when unforeseen events occurred.
What I wish was different
I wish more of my coworkers cared about their jobs. There were many employees who just wanted the paycheck and didn’t care if they left a mess or didn’t complete tasks.
