We would assume a sales representative’s job would be to help us pick the clothes that look best on us. But not at Abercrombie & Fitch.
If an employee even bothered to answer your question, there’s a great chance they lied to you just for fun. Recommending the uglier items means making sure they are actually sold.
Working for a Cause
One ex-employee decided to pull off a Robin Hood-inspired operation and steal clothes in order to give them to the homeless.
The management would have probably been appalled if they saw a homeless person wearing their expensive clothes. But some people thrive on creating chaos, and this worker is definitely one of them.
Nightmare Job
When people have dreams, they work hard to achieve them. Well, this girl's dream was simple: to work for Abercrombie & Fitch.
She did all she could, lost weight, and got in. But the job wasn't as dreamy as it seemed, so she quit and gained weight. You go, girl!
Working, But Not
Nobody enjoys being someone's backup plan, but when it comes to being "On-Call," it's a waste of both time and money.
Sitting at home, not being able to do anything else, just in case A&F calls you and tells you to come in, isn't a great way of making a living because, well, you are not.
A Senior Junior
Because A&F's turnover is so high, and the people who work there aren't "that smart" - working there for a couple of months means you are already practically a senior manager.
This means you might be able to get away with a lot more than the newer employees, and they might even think you're a lot more important than you actually are.
