College Green, Dublin
About
Casual Luxury
David Abercrombie founded A&F in 1892 as an upscale sporting goods store. Forming a partnership with Ezra Fitch, the company continued to expand in the new 20th century.
After Abercrombie left the company, Fitch became sole owner and ushered in the "Fitch Years" of continued success. After his retirement, the company continued under a succession of other leaders until its financial fall and closing in 1977.
Limited Brands purchased the ailing brand in 1988 and brought in Mike Jeffries, who revolutionized the image of Abercrombie & Fitch to become an upscale youthful fashion retailer.
Today, the company is a multi-billion dollar entity continuing to experience economic expansion through the business continuance of three off-shoot growing concepts and cautious international expansion into key luxury markets.

Work Culture
Great Starter Job!
Working in retail is a great job to help pay your way for school. Abercrombie is extremely flexible with hours to match your outside life. Management turn over rate is fairly high so you tend to have multiple within a short time. The manager you do have though are very kind and enjoyable to work with. Stock is much more demanding compared to the sales associates on the sales floor.
An average day includes receiving and processing shipment then placing items either out on the floor right away (according to audits performed when the box is scanned in) or back-stocked in the bays, filling the sales floor based on items sold, maintaining order of the merchandise within the bays, helping out on the sales floor when needed, and other miscellaneous tasks such as cleaning and taking out the trash. Performing audits on the sales floor to ensure all product is out and "remerching" closets is done from time to time. Sales floor updates, transfers, and pricing merchandise is also done from time to time.
The hardest part of this job is being able to multi-task and think 5 steps ahead as to what needs to be done. A lot of work must be performed in a short amount of time and it may seem difficult for those who are not used to such demands. The most enjoyable part is working with great people in a great atmosphere.
