Horrible work experience
When I got the job at Aeropostale I was really excited to start working. Then I figured out that the manager had hired 14 or more new workers. So she only gave me one day to work. I wasn't getting hours at all and every time I called to speak with her about that, she would never pick up or she would make someone else speak with me. My training was for less then 10 minutes. They were very unorganized.
One of the worst retail jobs I've ever worked.
High-volume retail environment, even in a "sleepy" suburban mall. The MESSES. The HOLIDAYS. The oppressive store manager I worked under - it all drove me out and led me into the arms of a recruiter for a better retailer.

Great Place to work
Worked at Wheaton Mall and Columbia Mall in Maryland and those locations are great. Work for Aero for 2 years started as a Key Holder and then became an LP Assistant Manager. One of my favorite companies to work for.
Pros
Fantastic work environment
Cons
Long hours
Mediocre place to work
Not a great place to work if your goal is to make money. Only good thing is the discounts you receive. The mangers were really nice and understanding. You would enjoy the job if you like being around young age people.
Pros
Flexible work hours
Cons
No benefits
great company
Aeropostale had a lot of different types of departments into one store had to do some many different roles of the job. Although I like working there it became a bit much when you feel like you was doing your job and your bosses job and only getting one paycheck.
Pay isn't worth it, if you're not a manager
Job was easy and relaxed. Co-workers were team oriented and friendly. Pay was horrible (7.25 an hour for sales leads and about 10.00 for sales leads), unless you were a manager. There were basically never enough hours available.
Pros
Relaxed environment and simple work-load
Cons
Pay, never enough hours
Fun place to work
A typical day at work would be refolding clothing and being at the register. I learned about customer service. The manager is understanding person. Work place is positive. The hardest part of the job is dealing with rude customers. The most enjoyable part of the job is talking to customers.
We want to help you find great companies. Help us be the best!

Excellent work enviroment with great people and great management
Each day at work was enjoyable, the staff and management are all wonderful people to work with. I will admit holidays are hectic times when employed in retail, but with great teamwork and communication the work is never too demanding on one person.
Fun and Exciting Place to work.
A typical day at work entails being able to do the job right and not let your personal life effect your progress. I enjoy working with my fellow employees and we had great team efforts. Some worked at the cashier and others worked on the floor depending on your strengths. I always enjoyed working on the floor because it gave me an opportunity to help customers. I learned that even if you don't know what you are doing, you do learn a lot from the experience. The management was great, staff helped a lot to make the environment as freeing and open as possible. The team leaders and staff really did a good job enforcing change and controlling the flow of the products and what's being sold. The hardest part of the job can be the long hours and not being able to work on other priorities like school. I enjoyed being able to learn new things everyday and being able to help other people and be a part of my community.
Pros
Learning new things
Cons
Not able to progress, not focusing on school
Horrible place to work
First to start the managers are very rude and unappreciative. They don't have a sense of courtesy nor do they treat you right. There are no breaks the job is boring and not worth your time. Nor the low wage.
Pros
50% off clothes
Cons
No breaks low wage
The workplace Aeropostale
A typical day at work would be to organize the store since so many customers come in an out. But while organizing and recovering one as a sales associate must provide great customer service by helping them find what they come in looking for. We have to have a conversation with the clients to see what they want exactly. Also, once they are ready to pay and checkout I jump on the register and check them out by ringing there items and charging them. I then go back to organizing the clothes, greeting customers, or rearranging the store with my manager.
I have learned a lot at this job like how to provide the best customer service possible. Also I have developed skills such as organizing, register, interpersonal and more. Management at Aeropostale is excellent they really care about what they do and how they do it, customer satisfaction is number one on the list. Me and my coworkers get along great I am very friendly and try always to be respectful and find what we have in common so that work can be easy going. The hardest part of my job would definitely be difficult customers. Some customers come in demanding attention and are just down right rude. But regardless of how difficult they may be I have learned to deal with them and I always put my best foot forward . The most enjoyable part would definitely be connecting with a customer and getting to know them better by talking and being able to help them out.
