Abercrombie & Fitch Employer Reviews

I loved working here! I met so many of my friends while working there.

• Provided customer service
• Experience with cash register and cash flow

it is a good starting job when i still in high school. it was my fist job i had great time there

Typical day include going through inventory and processing shipment. Management there are nice and willing to help if needed. Good work environment with friendly co-workers.

This workplace is very flexible with your schedule needs. a typical day is just keeping the store in order, making it presentable to the shopper and make items visible and easy to find.

I really liked working here. I always thought that it was a good place and the people where great.

A scheduled day at work as stockroom manager would have been nine hours with a one hour lunch break. Actual work hours involved 11 or more hours, often with lunch being eaten in the stockroom. Employees found it very easy to call in or not show up causing the stockroom manager to fulfill their duties or other employees to be called in to work when otherwise – more... unscheduled. This was common in a typical day at work. Inventory of the stockroom was taken weekly. On a daily basis the stockroom was to be organized and/or maintained as well as swept and mopped. The stockroom manager checked daily the inventory of the actual store outside of the stockroom and made sure which items needed to be filled, filling the inventory of the shopping floor. Daily the stockroom manager worked with customers in the store, assisting shoppers and finding particular items as well as performing register duties such as returning items, exchanges, and purchases. Shipment from other stores or headquarters was received twice weekly and added and organized into the stockroom according to the charts received from headquarters. As well as receiving, the stockroom manager was responsible for shipping items to other stores, as per orders from regional managers. Organization was a strict and key element in properly maintaining a stockroom. Monthly visits from regional managers involved reviewing the stockroom organization and inventory paperwork. Weekly manager meetings kept lines of communication open and addressed situations in a positive atmosphere. Weekly interviews took place as well as monthly meetings as to which employees needed to be let go. The most enjoyable part of the job were the co-workers, particularly the fellow managers. The most difficult part of the job was being in charge of employees who did not take their job seriously or failed to report to work in a timely manner or at all. – less

I started at Abercrombie as a sales model. I worked on the floors selling clothing and accessories to customers. I also was a cashier, then was promoted at 17 years of age to Back Stock Manager. Tasks as a Back Stock Manager included: shipping and receiving, censoring shipment, organizing received shipment in stock shelves, restocking sales floor shelves, – more... conference calls, new hire meetings, management of stocking crew, filing paperwork, organize and distribute "floor change" items, and much more.

Abercrombie taught me how to focus and be a team leader. I left Abercrombie to pursue more education in business from the qualities Abercrombie taught me about business. The hardest part about working with A&F was stepping in for management for upset customers. Most customers saw me as too young for management. However, I always got my point across, calmed down the customer, and solved the issue at hand. – less

This is not a career, the company has become extremely shady.

New managers every couple of months because they would hate the job. Some had no idea what they were doing. Good job to meet girls

Manage a team of 4 managers and a staff of 92 employees. Through recruiting efforts and training programs establish a friendly and enjoyable work for both full and part time associates creating a motivated and sales driven team.

always stayed busy assisting customers. Had really good management and enjoyed working with co-workers.

My coworkers were nice to work with, and the work was too bad. when we got busy it was hell on earth and we were al running around trying to get everything done. that was basically the only bad part, except the managers were lazy

A typical day at work consisted of being on the floor helping customers find what they are looking for and provide the friendliest service. It was very rewarding.

When working with Abercrombie & Fitch, I had one store manager, who was great. However, there was no connection between management and staff that created the strong bond that I encountered with Gap. Abercrombie and Hollister both have a rather cold atmosphere, when looking at the relationship between associates and managers. This disconnect causes a – more... certain awkwardness off the salesfloor. As a "model" I was responsible for greeting customers with taglines, or scripted phrases that had to be delivered to every customer word for word. I also processed sales transactions and maintained visual presentations – less

A typical day at work consists of driving sales via excellent customer service and sales floor merchandising. Additionally, it consists of delegating tasks to employees to improve the store experience for customers, and motivating employees to take pride in their work.

Each day, Abercrombie & Fitch Home Office delivers objectives which have taught – more... me how to multitask, prioritize, and delegate.

I am one of four managers at the store. On average, we receive reviews by our district manager twice a week which give us further insight on how we can improve our store's performance.

The team that I manage with is one cohesive unit comprised of young adults motivated to meet sales and staffing goals.

The most difficult part of the job is trying to stay within our budgeted number of hours each day while still providing a perfect store experience for customers.

The most enjoyable part of the job is working with young, enthusiastic, positive people. – less

Way too much demanding labor and not enough pay.
Lack of oraganization.
"Call-ins" are a complete waste of time.
Managers lacked professionalism.
If you are a college student looking for a job that has consistent hours and a decent environment, A&F is not it.

Attention to detail was a must for this employer. The managers and the employees are very diverse and made work fun

Management was very poor. People were being let go without being notified. The work schedule was badly organized. The job was vague and undefined most days. The pay was terrible; $7.249/hour, when minimum wage is $7.25... Do not work here.

A&F is the most demanding of any retailer and also the lowest paying. Promotions come quick due to a 50% attrition rate. People are hired based on their looks and happiness rather than merit or intelligence, so productivity, professionalism and attitudes are lacking.
