I was brought on as an Assistant Manager in 2012 and have enjoyed my job for the most part. I was assigned to work at a local Hollister store. Christmas season can be miserable, the pay is enough to live on your own with but not much else, the benefits are great (full health, dental, vision, vacation time and 401k options). There has been a lot of turn-over – more... with managers in my district lately, so there isn't a lot of overlap with managers, and that can make things even more stressful. – less

A typical day at Abercrombie & Fitch in the stock room is you have to sign in then go to your folding spot and start pinning alarms on clothes until its time to go home. They give you an hour break if your working pass a certain amount of hours. While working there i learned how to work in environment with a lot of people in a small space. The management – more... there is OK, The co - workers help each other out so it's not a "all for one" work environment. The hardest part of the job is finishing 150 units of clothes in a hour. The most enjoyable part of the job is the benefits and the pay is great for the amount of working your doing, – less

Over all while working at Abercrombie, i've liked the experience. As a first job it was a smart decision and i have learned a lot while there. The diversity of the people made me learn to appreciate others a lot more and made the work experience more fun. The management is usually very nice but strict, as it should be. The hours are usually very flexible – more... and fair. Most people were pleasant. The job wasn't really hard so long as you completed your tasks correctly the first time. I really enjoyed the music and clothing, the atmosphere of the job is one that makes people want to work there. It has been a great experience in the past two years and i do enjoy going back to work more frequently when i am not always away due to school. – less

Working for a big retail company is not for everyone. Everyday is different and can be stressful. Although the environment can be fun and exciting at times, the work hours are not always the best part.

I had previously worked at Hollister Co. in Lexington, KY & loved it. The management and coworkers were great; they knew what they were doing. So I am in no way rating the company as a whole as this low but this branch in Portland, ME is not at all what I had hoped. I was extremely spoiled at Hollister our stock room was immaculate and the store mainained – more... a stellar rating and rocked our secret shops. Once I came to this Abercrombie my world was turned upside down! The stock room had no organization to it, poor store rating, customer service was subpar, secret shops were rarely a success, and management was so out of touch with what they were doing and in no way knew how to communicate with each other. I did not stick around for long with this store unfortunately. It really is great for a college stundent though as they usually have over 50 eymployees and allow a lot of flexibility with scheduling! – less

Your typical day will consist of maintaining and monitoring employees in compliance with your daily clipboard of tasks. These tasks fill your entire day start to finish and must be signed off on. Management is pretty fluid with turnover so longtime relationships are somewhat rare. Co-workers are the best part of the job and make the workday fun on even – more... the worst days. – less

its a diferent job, you do not have that much things to, just make sure that the shop is always in the highest standard. i learned many visual things as changing bulbs, create testers and marketing. the best thing there are the colleagues, they are very friendly.

I was responsible for back room stocking, and customer service on the floor. I answer questions for customers, and assisted them with fashion selection.

-A typical day at work consisted of folding clothes and waiting on customers.
-I learned basic management skills.
-My co-workers were much younger than me, but a pleasure to work with.
-The hardest part about this job was the long hours.
-The most enjoyable part about the job was meeting new people.

Loved this job every one was so fun and friendly. Management was grate.

great customer service environment,and great co-worker to be around,very well mannered people to work with

You will be smelling like there favorite cologne, but the culture is good, no nonsense company, in loss prevention its about teaching associates about policies

Fun work atmosphere. The position has helped me strengthen my management skills. As a manager I am responsible of running a multimillion dollar business. The most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with my co-workers. Hardest part of the job is leaving my co-workers behind when getting promoted to higher volume stores.

This was not my favorite job, the managers were self centered, the schedule wasnt very well planned between managers, the pay was not good at all.
