I enjoyed it
Seasonal Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Tysons Corner, VA - December 12, 2019
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThis 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.

Jobs at The North Face
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
it’s a good starter job but there’s no room for growth. a lot of empty promises and. you do way more than what you’re paid for. the coworkers are good but not enough to stay

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.
Pros
benefits are great
Cons
short hours
