This was a nice work environment. The only problem for me was the commute. I lived in Maryland and Tyson’s corner takes about 2 hours on the metro. Other than that great experience

Fun

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Des Peres, MO - May 15, 2022

If you enjoy outdoor gear and outdoors in general then its a good place to work. Hours are good and you still have freetime after work. One of the better retail jobs. Great discount as well.

Its a job, they let you know you’re disposable as workers and constantly cut pay

Retail Sales Supervisor (Current Employee) - Sevierville, TN - May 9, 2022

Pay could definitely be better, management definitely schedules some people more than others, they expect you to do work above your pay level. Would not recommend

Pros

Pto if you work for two months

Cons

No benefits for part time workers- just full time

They are very careless about employees

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Berkeley, CA - May 8, 2022

There very Unaware as far as the management and they all give themselves hours so regular sales associate had to fight and earn for hours . There was at least 25 people I seen working there at the same time and they have no diversity what so ever and most of the African American employees rarely are respected .

Horrible workplace

Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Denver, CO - April 5, 2022

North Face is not a company worth working for. They have horrible pay, horrible management, and everyone working there has horrible politics. Specific stores throughout the US have horrible management. The one in Cherry Creek Mall in Denver as well as the one in Aventura Mall in Miami have simply awful Store Managers. Wouldn’t ever ever ever recommend working there again.

Pros

Nothing.

Cons

Literally nothing good about management at North Face. Horrible leadership all around, starting with the Store Manager

Fun work place

Sales Associate (Current Employee) - New York, NY - March 5, 2022

Flexible work hours, decent amount of breaks through a shift. You get a huge employee discount. Gained knowledge about specific materials that keep you warm or dry.

Pros

50% discount

Cons

Shortage of product

VF takes care of their people

Selling Supervisor (Current Employee) - White Plains, NY - February 19, 2022

VF takes care of their people. I just don’t feel like there’s growth at my particular store or district. The 401k matching and the insurance is great. There’s a great work life balance too. I just don’t like my store.

Pros

Compensation

Cons

Poor traffic. Ridiculous sales goals.

The North Face Sales Associate (Garden State Plaza 510 Paramus, NJ)

Overall one of the better retail jobs to work at

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Cherry Hill, NJ - February 9, 2022

I enjoyed working for this company. My manager was understanding when I had things come up in my family and helped me a lot when I needed it. I liked the staff I worked with as we would try to plan hangs out together such as snowboarding trips or rock climbing get together. Feel a sense of community here however, the worst part was all the shop lifting. You have to watch out for shoplifters and corporate rarely assigned guards, especially during the holiday season. Instead of helping customers, I had to multitask everything and it made me burn out.

Pros

Staff, sense of community, reimbursement for an outdoor activity

Cons

Lack of security guards

Great company to work for

Sales / Visual Manager (Former Employee) - Troy, MI - December 30, 2021

Sure it's retail, so there are those hours in most retail jobs. HOWEVER! Every day was great for me for the four years I worked there. I advanced quickly and truly enjoyed almost every aspect of the job, from the sales floor to management. Not to mention the considerable discount and clothing allotment employees receive fantastically.

Pros

Clothing, discounts and free clothes.

Cons

It's retail. But one of the best and most excellent retail companies on the planet.

Weak management

Stock Associate (Former Employee) - Sunrise, FL - October 28, 2021

Weak management, also the pay was terrible. No room to advance to a higher position. The best thing about working at The Northface was interacting with coworkers and also the customers who were from all over the globe.

Poor Pay, 4.5 hour shifts

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Berkeley, CA - October 25, 2021

Worked at TNF in Berkeley as a seasonal temp. Minimum wage, and 4.5 shifts. Paychecks were around $400 every 2 weeks for someone that was part-time. The management was clicky and immature, but what can you expect it’s retail.

People were favorited. Nobody’s treated the same and co workers will make you feel weird.

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Riverhead, NY - October 2, 2021

Was not allowed to talk to coworkers. Would get zoned differently if i was seen talking to any other worker. Got treated differently for months and everyone there made me feel as if i didn’t belong.

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

Bad work environment

Sales Associate (Current Employee) - New York, NY - September 25, 2021

okay place

Sales Associate - Sales (Former Employee) - Vacaville, CA - September 25, 2021

The place is just your typical part-time job. Mostly worked to earn money and get in and out. Mandatory to have your availability open for weekends and at least 2 days within the week. Management needs work for sure. Whenever there is a problem within the work environment, it will be a back and forth between HR, manager and district manager as well. HR isn't for the employees but to protect the company.

0 progression, company held together with duct tape

Sales (Current Employee) - Not saying, they will come for me - September 12, 2021

Worked for 4+ years, pay is minimum wage or just over with no progression or chance at progression. Stay away from here. Yes you get 50% discount on everything but your hopes and dreams will die in this company.Work life depends on your team

Cons

Bad pay. Read my review

great retail job

Retail Associate (Former Employee) - Costa Mesa, CA - September 8, 2021

I really enjoyed my time here. All the staffs were great, and it felt like one big family. Management was also very supportive and will take the time educate and train you on product knowledge. Holidays can get a bit stressful, but that's just how retail is.
