Aeropostale Employer Reviews

Great retail store for the less experienced. Good company values and management always tries to make sure everyone feels included by hosting small events and little activities once in a while. Not on commission so it is very laid-back.

An easy, mindless job that can give you good retail experience for future retail opportunities. You have a good chance to advance to manager positions if you stay for a long time and take the initiative.

One thing I loved about this job was that you can change your availability online at anytime and it will 99% be accepted. You don't need to go in – more... and fill out a form and get it signed. It's to your convenience. You can also switch shifts online with other employees.

They don't give you enough hours every week. The reason I quit was because I was averaging 4-8 hours a week after the holiday season. Usually you'll get a lot of hours during December/early January then bump you down from 30/week to 4 or even no hours for a week. Technically the store can run with just 2 managers running the store, and they'd rather do that then schedule associates during the daytime.

Try to use this job to get the retail cash experience then find another after the holiday season that will give you more hours. – less

Everyday I would fold put any clothing away, help customers, up-sale and help open/close the store.

My time at aeropostale was great ,I enjoyed the people i worked with and the mangers were very nice!

a typical day at aeropostale folding clothes cashier runner garbage runs on some random day, greeting every customer that walks in the store showing them what is new old and what they may be looking for. the managers are really good with what they do they are strict in some ways but they are really good for a first time working there. co-workers are – more... the same as the managers. keeping the store clean on holiday breaks. and the most fun part is getting to know all the people that you are working there with – less

A perfect job fo teens/ highschool students just looking for some extra cash and some solid work experience. As a college student paying for my own schooling and living, the wages are less than ideal, but its a job that I hope to keep on the side. Management is amazing, very professional yet fun and flexible at the same time. My co-workers are almost – more... all highschool students. All very out-going and fun to be around. Honestly does'nt even feel like work a lot of the time. The hardest part of my job is stressing about not getting enough hours, as I usually only get about 4 hours per week. The most enjoyable part of this job is being able to be yourself around customers and fellow emloyees. – less

When I enter the store, I always have a smile! I enjoy seeing all my coworkers and have a great attitude going into work. The store always has a great vibe going on; music is always loud and pumping, and all employees are in great moods. With that being said, the store runs smoothly with the outstanding management team! The store gets very busy, which – more... can be frustrating. However, at the end of the day I really enjoy my job and appreciate the job descriptions. – less

this is a fun place to work, get to work with clothes all day! the make you work long hours with no over time

Typically, there are two people opening the store in the morning. A manager and either another manager or sales associate. As a sales associate, I would come in an hour and a half before opening. There are many things to do to prep the store, such as making sure the all of the cleaning was done the night before. It is very important to have a clean – more... cash wrap because customers see most of that, and if it is cluttered, it doesn't leave a good last impression on the customer. We also dust, sweep, and clean out fitting rooms as well as washing the mirrors. The customer experience is key and we want to stick out in their mind, so we spray the store with our original men's cologne scent. Once the stock for the day is delivered, I would start on opening and prepping the replenishment boxes to fill onto the sales floor, while the manager gets the tills ready. Depending on the amount of stock and the amount of people in the store, I would finish the stock until my shift is over, or I would move onto the sales floor and work the cash, fitting rooms, and front of store - greeting customers and helping them find what they need and enjoy their shopping experience. – less

A typical day at work would be having to clean the change rooms and sweep the floor. It also contains folding clothes and having a good sense of style. Also, dealing with customers and making sure their needs are met. I've learned great leadership skills along with knowing the basics of selling clothing. The people you would with here are amazing and – more... very friendly and easy to get along with. The hardest part of the job would be having the store be 100% clean all the time and working with uncooperative customers. The most enjoyable part of the job is making your goal for the day and helping out customers to your best ability. – less

good retail environment. compensation was mediocre. hours took over your day though.

Fun place to work, family vibe with co-workers, at my store we mostly bonded during out late nights closing.

While working for Aeropostale I was able to acquire many good qualities. I was given trust to deal with money, not only that, but trust to interact with clients one on one. This career fully equipped me with an understanding of exactly what to do when dealing with the public.

A typical day at work consisted of replenishing sales floor and running behind the register when the line got too long. Also, greeting eery customer was a necessary part of the job as well as accommodating every customers needs and questions.

Great workplace and is always eager to advance and promote in the work place. we are very customer oriented with great selling culture.

If you work in the right area of the country there is a lot of opportunity with new stores opening. The work load is extremely heavy and poorly planned compared to other retailers I have worked for. The personal day benefit sounds great but it is nearly impossible to schedule them in so you end up losing them.

i coach and develop new employees everyday there's always a new challenge

A typical day at work was busy but I was able to manage. I didn't really learn anything at the establishment however, I did improve some of my skills. The management there was nice and very protective. My co-workers were fun, energetic, and welcoming. There was no hard part of the job at all. When I did find an obstacle, I had the drive and will to – more... want to overcome it. The most enjoyable part was getting to help customers and meet wonderful people. – less

I enjoy expressing and promoting this company clothes and they're enthusiasm for customer service.

My experience at Aeropostale has been a good one. I enjoy working for this company. I am a sales associate here. My job descriptions are greeting, assisting customers, operating cash registors, making regular transactions and aslo customer returns. This job has given me the experience and knowledge i need in order to be in this work field. I have learned – more... that every person is not the same and there problems must be delt with in different ways. This has taught me to be flexible. The management at this job is great they listen and take our feelings into consideration. I dont think this job is very hard, The customers can somtimes be difficult, but i have learn to deal with them. I enjoy enteracting with the customers, and helping them find what they need. – less
