Sales Associate (Former Employee), North Myrtle Beach, SC – May 21, 2012
Pros: discounts, fun environment
Cons: advancement
Aeropostale can be a fun place to work especially when you start to get to know the people you work with. I have made many friends from this position that I continue to talk to today. The ability to move up in the company seemed difficult because some managers wanted you to stick with them even during off seasons when they do not give a lot of hours – more... to sales associates. – less

Retail Associate (Former Employee), Clay, NY – May 10, 2012
Cons: no hours, bad training
I only worked here for about a month. I got hired at the end of the summer and I figured it'd be a great part-time job while I was going to college. They hired too many people so I worked about 8 hours a week, just enough money to pay for the gas for me to drive to and from work on my scheduled days and to pick up my paycheck. I didn't receive any training – more... on the cash register and spent most of my time folding clothes and straightening the displays – less
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Columbia, MO – May 9, 2012
Pros: the discount and clothes
Cons: hours no balance with life and work
Almost the entire day I was working on tearing down one wall and rebuilding another or always sizing and folding merchandise. The heardest part is all the loud preteens or teenagers that came in and out of the store. But I do like how it was casual dresscode
Cashier Lead, Sales Associate (Current Employee), Saint George, UT – May 8, 2012
Pros: free lunches, and employee discounts on products.
A typical day at Aeropostale would go like so: I would come into the store, observe the type of sales going on, clock in and go to the back to listen to the sales going on by a tape recorder. Then proceed to talk to a manager about the sales goals of the day and then go to assigned area and work on projects from there. Projects could include doing go-backs, – more... stocking up on a table and certain items, and most importantly meeting up the the customer's standerds by greeting them, talking to them, asking them questions, and making sure that they know the sales that are going on at that time. I learned the customer service is key to a thriving business. The Management at Aeropostale is awesome and could not ask for better. The hardest part of the job is that when it is busy, all of us have to make sure that all of the customer's are completely satisifed. And the most enjoyable part of the job is to share the passion and fun and to show it to the customers and other co-workers. – less

I absolutely loved working here. Management was great, I loved my co-workers and I was treated with respect. I felt like they actually cared about me, unlike some of my other employers. I'd go back in a heartbeat if the situation was right.
Cashier, Greeter, Floor (Former Employee), Barrie, ON – April 30, 2012
Pros: good breaks, enjoyable people
Cons: standing all day, short hours
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
