I was responsible for greeting customers, product placement, and register. I learned that soft skills are just as important, if not more so, than hard skills. This was a great part time job that I did while doing both a bachelors in International Business at Cal Poly and a Masters Certification in Lean Blackbelt Six Sigma.
Sales Associate/Model (Current Employee), Santa Monica, CA – May 10, 2012
Abercrombie is definitely not a place for everyone. But, as a recently graduated high school student it was a great place for me to meet new people and have a place where the work was consistent. But, the policies are unreasonable and it is work place for younger individuals. The most enjoyable part of Abercrombie is the customer service aspect of it – more... and talking with customer's to help them find exactly what they need. I definitely learned a lot from dealing with the wide range of people that come to shop at Abercrombie. Co-workers and management are always changing which, can be a good thing to meet new people but at the same time it gets kind of irritating. All in all, Abercrombie is a minimum wage job and there are many cons but it has an addicting quality to it that people can't get away from. – less

A typical day at work involved clocking-in sweeping and dusting in the morning along with greeting customers and folding merchandise. Also checking out customers on the register.

All my co-workers were – more... friendly and diverse. The hardest part of my job was keeping a look out for shop lifters.
