The North Face Employer Reviews

At The North Face you come in and check in with a manager and they tell you what section you are in, in the store and what your sales goal is for the day. Immediately you go out onto the sales floor and ask customers if they are looking for a product in particular, or if they are finding everything alright and follow our summit sales steps with the – more... customer and be able to explain different technologies in our products. Throughout the day sales associates also need to greet customers, check fitting rooms, work at the cash register when needed, and re-stock the sales floor when needed. I have learned a lot working at The North Face. They teach you how to set up proper sales displays and how to help customers with purchases in anyway possible. The hardest part about working at an outlet store is finding an alternative solution to a customer's request for a specific product. But it is always rewarding when a customer is walking out of the store thanking you for helping them. It also helps when I can rely on my co-workers to help different customers or even help me when I am not able to find a solution. It becomes very frustrating when you come across that co-worker that doesn't want to do any work, it makes work more difficult and I don't like it when it affects the customers too. – less

The North Face has a dedication to sustainable values to support the outdoors. They also offer a vacation benefit that promotes a work / life balance. This benefits the company because employees are able to use their vacation adventures as examples when they sell the product.

Relocation benefits could be better. They only cover a flat $10,000 that – more... is taxed so you get around $6,000 to $7,000 for moving expenses. This is great if someone is single and does not own a home. So the policy is slanted towards single people. – less

It can be difficult if you have a hard time with busy traffic an constant customers.

Great Place to Work. Great Team. Definitely recommend it. Love the activities provided. Beautiful location.

The NorthFace was great at first. After a few years things began to go south. The new managers made it difficult to communicate your needs.

different shifts with different co workers, always positive and motivated. i learned whats really needed for cold trips and very cold climates. there wasnt no hard part of the job.

If part time, expect to get no hours. If full time, expect to be overworked. If management, expect to babysit everyone.

I have the best co-workers. They are extremely supportive. One of the best parts of the job was getting to meet athletes that I would never have met otherwise. The North Face has the most amazing athletes.

Working at the north face is ok. There is not much room to move up and hours are really not that great. The best time to work for this company is the winter since that is their peak season.

pay is a bit low..... Ecom division was a fun job laid back and relaxed

If you like retail sales and the outdoors this is a great company to work for. Pay in Management is good but not so much down the chain. Full time people do get great health care

typical day consisted of receiving 80-200 boxes per day although enough staff was provided the amount of space availabe to work in was limited

The company is great but the pay and hours can be discouraging for a professional

A great company to work for. A very large store staff. Sale incentives push everyone to sell their hearts out. Great bonus program. Love the outdoors!

A typical day at work, I consider it fair not so busy but still incentive is there at the end of the month. I've learn too many things, as I am assigned in the concept store so most of the day I am doing everything. The most enjoyable part of the job is that all of my colleagues are friendly & they are easy to deal with even though we come from different – more... places & culture. – less

Desde que llego atiendo a los clientes explicandoles la calidad del producto a vender o al cual el este interesado, lo acompaño en la compra hasta que termine, paso por la caja, le cobro y le entrego su compra en una bolsa. Aprendi mucho sobre ropa, telas, son muchisimas horas de trabajo y no te da tiempo a nada, y no suelen respetar tus horarios pero – more... se gana muy buen sueldo y tenes la comidad de la ropa que te brindan, la calidad de poder comer o beber agua en cualquier momento en el deposito pero nunca dejando tu trabajo de lado. – less
