Productive workplace with good benefits
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Leesburg, VA – May 27, 2017
As a sales associate, I learned a lot about customer service and was able to grow as an individual through this job. You really bond with your fellow employees and learn how to effectively communicate with customers.
The place was very calm but in a way unorganized

Not enough hours
It’s a great job and is very flexible
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Colorado Springs, CO – March 15, 2019

Cons
Not many hours
Great for teens
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – March 13, 2019
This was my first job in high school. Everyone who works there is young and in my experience, really fun to work with. Although we did have sales goals and challenges to meet, the environment was very playful. I got along with all my coworkers and even found good friends in the management. They are flexible with students and work with you and your schedule. If you are looking for your first job, I recommend applying here.
Pros
Fun, good experience building
Cons
gets very busy on weekends
Great discounts

Was a great first job to gain work experience
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Concord, NC – March 7, 2019
As a first job, I thought to gain experience it was great. I loved the work area and the people I worked with. Some days were better than others, but overall was a great time working as an employee.
Best job to be at for retail
Sales Leader/Manager (Current Employee) – Hickory, NC – March 7, 2019
Aeropostale is the perfect retail job for both new retail workers and expierenced retail workers. This company really makes sure that customers are fully trained and prepared before allowing them to handle tasks on their own. Management goes out of their way to help train and coach associates. Aero associates become a family.
Low pay, typical mall job
Aeropostale Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Odessa, FL – March 7, 2019
Manager at the time was kinda rude but I heard the new one is really nice. Felt very unsafe at aero always had shoplifters and people getting mad, had to call security quite a bit. Unrealistic break schedule.
Customer focused with a fun work environment
Assistant Manager (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – March 5, 2019
A typical day at work included using customer service skills to greet, follow up, and build sales. We learned to stock the store with new merchandise, ring sales on the register, and do opening and closing procedures. As part of the management team, me and the rest of the team made sure the work environment was clean, well stocked, and that all of the associates had a great environment to work in. The most enjoyable part of the job was the ability to get rewarded for our hard work based on sales goals and other performances.
Great First Job
Sales Lead (Former Employee) – Rosemont, IL – March 4, 2019
Aeropostale is definitely the best job to have as a high school and college student. There is always room for growth. The workplace itself felt like a family. I've learned how to problem solve with customers, how to make a store look representable, how to detail clothes and give a good presentation of them, how to open and close a store, etc. I started as a sales associate and moved up to management within three years.
Productive & Fun
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Fairview Heights, IL – March 3, 2019
Overall, I throughly enjoyed working at Aeropostale. The management team I worked under was honestly the best part of the job. Also the perk of getting discounts on the merch was very helpful.
Fun, Mall life job
STORE MANAGER (Former Employee) – Castle Rock, CO – March 3, 2019
An exciting job when I worked at the Castle Rock mall. Very busy each day working in the outlet store, which always was busy with having the standard store to run, and the outlet portion too. Never a dull moment
Pros
good pau and bonis structure
Cons
none that I remember
Overall a fun environment.
Associate Store Manager (Former Employee) – New York, NY – March 2, 2019
Great place with great people. Lots of inclusion when it comes to the Corp/store staff collaborations. The work schedule is very demanding and difficult to maintain and home/work balancing with school aged children.
Pros
Great upper management, truly care about their employees.
Cons
Work vs home balance with children
Friendly environment, great management, nice co-workers, & a sustainable job.
Sales Associate/Cashier (Current Employee) – Barboursville, WV – March 2, 2019
It's a friendly environment, has extremely kind management who are easy to get along with, and is moderately complicated but is easy to get the hang of. I learned how to work in retail, how to deal with customers, and how to work in the stock room. The most enjoyable part of the job was the side conversations with my co-workers, and the hardest part was probably doing inventory.
Pros
Flexible hours, lunch breaks.
Cons
No paid vacation/sick days, short breaks
typical retail environment
Sales Lead (Former Employee) – FL – March 1, 2019
Aeropostale provides your average retail employment standard. It was never that great but it also wasn't awful. They set the goal for the day and task the rest of the time. Nothing out of the ordinary
Fun workplace & overall good environment!
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Carlsbad, CA – February 28, 2019
Aeropostale was my first job ever! I started working when I was a senior in high school involved in many extracurricular activities, but my manager was always understanding about my busy schedule & allowed me to work whenever I was available to. Through this job I was able to better my communication abilities as well as develop adequate customer service skills. My coworkers were very nice to me & were always friendly whenever I worked. Although working in retail & dealing with customers can be such an exhausting task, the responsibilities I was given often kept me occupied enough that I wouldn’t go crazy each shift. As a sales associate, I usually performed cash register duties, worked in fitting rooms & go-backs, recovered the sales floor, & sometimes worked on filling the merchandise that needed to be restocked.
Pros
Flexible hours & good, reliable management
Cons
Short breaks
Decent Retail job
SALES ASSOCIATE (Former Employee) – Rockford, IL – February 25, 2019
Picky, but decent. I would greet customers, help carry out sales, fold clothing, work registers, clean floors and mirrors, and helped meet sales goals. It was a decent job but everything had to be so specifically neat (all tags tucked in every clothing item , etc). No break unless worked certain amount of hours
Pros
decent work flexibility, okay pay
Cons
too many employees so my hours were cut, 40 minutes from my home so I had to drive a lot
