Urban Outfitters Employer Reviews

They couldn't even spell my name correctly on my checks! They never smiled at employees and made it hard to get good hours.

Both times that I worked for Urban Outfitters I worked as a seasonal employee hired on black friday and expected to start working that day. I loved the pay, the discount, and the merchandise. The only complaints I had about the jobs were that the supervisors seemed completely uninterested in trying to get to know their subordinates, and remained very – more...  much to themselves. I personally never had any issues with anyone in the workplace, but I feet as though the environment could have been made a bit warmer than what it was. The employees seemed to want to come in, work, and leave. As far as im concerned people need to know one another in order for the real "team" aspect of a sales floor and retail establishment are concerned to thrive. – less

very easy job. The management could use training in real life events that do happen even if you done have any time accumulated to be off

Recently, I was employed at Urban Outfitters clothing store in Durham, NC. A typical day at work consisted of coming in at 9:30 am. cleaning the sales floor, folding clothes, restocking the sales floor with different sizes, and managing the cash register. Urban Outfitters is a very team-based job. Everything was done in a group effort to make sure the – more...  store ran efficiently. My co-workers were extremely pleasant. There were no altercations ever. The hardest part of the job was the holiday traffic. The crowd volumes were very high. The most enjoyable part of the job was the customers that I met and being able to assist them in their drastic wardrobe changes. – less

Please do not apply for this company, trust me it's not worth ur time, they're not honest, truful or loyal to their word, they tell u anything to make u happy n the next minute it's not true, this is not a real place to work for, it's a hussle job, not a real job. They write u up for anything, i mean anything, to get u fire. It's not a fair job, it's – more...  a terrible job, so please take my advice don't think twice about applying for this job, if u want further information, I be gladly to give u what u like to hear, This is definately a slave hole, please don't apply for this company, it's not worth the money. – less

A very diverse environment, Very comfotable working there, good hours, nice staff. I enjoyed working there. Left only to grow.

I enjoyed working for the University of South Carolina. There was always something new and exciting going on at the campus. I enjoyed the retailing aspect and my normal duties as the textbook buyer and store manager. Interacting with students and faculty.

A great place to get your creative juices flowing. Many of the people I work with have great ideas about art and photography and being able to convey this in the way that they dress. Nice relaxed atmosphere to work in.

Overall Urban Outfitters is a great company. I would continue working there but the job was only seasonal. As a previous employee we greeted and assist customers properly. The store was very organized. We accomplished many goals that were set and my team was always there to catch and prevent shoplifting.

Urban is a great company for anyone interested in working in a diverse atmosphere. Every employer has their own distinct identity. This compnany records high volumes of sales and business. Great retail store with alot to offer.

some of the things i did here was Courteously greeted customers and efficiently processed
transactions within busy, fast-paced retail environments. Operated cash
registers, scanners and computers to itemize customer purchases;
collected payments for transactions; and balanced drawers at the end of
each shift. Assisted with store stocking, floor-sets – more...  and opening/closing
procedures. – less

Urban Outfitters is an Eclectic workplace. In my experience a lot of hard workers get swept under the rug, ignored, treated unfairly, etc. The store overall is fun and laid back but Management could not care less about the associates. They do offer 401k after 6 months of work, you can transfer to any store nationwide but schedules are random according – more...  to ur availability. – less

I worked in the Call Center in Trenton SC, they train you for one week and the throw you on a phone with no one to help you. I wonder if this company gets some kind of a kick back for quantity hired. People are let go all of the time. They accused me of something that I didn't do, I believe they have their Warehouse and Call Center down here so they – more...  can pay a ridiculous low wage, it is straight time no overtime for working Saturday or Sunday. Main office is in PA which doesn't have the labor law as here in South Carolina, which is they can fire you and not have to have a reason. Their computer system is really bad, I feel sorry for the customers, getting someone elses holder or not get everything they order. No way of advancing in the company because you will be out the door before you can even think about it. I applied for a different position and a person that had only been there a month was given the position. Of course her brother who does nothing but bad mouth the e-mail department works there. I would say if you work there don't ever order anything because they and go in and make it look like you did some on your order that you didn't do. Then when you ask to see the proof they tell you we don't have to. If you do apply and get a job, keep looking because this company has the worst management, communication and pay of any company around. – less

If you can deal with the corporate, repetitive rules and tasks then it really is not a bad place to work. The staff/coworkers were awesome people and very friendly. The work environment was always positive!
