It is a comprehensive 90-day plan focused on immersing the trainee in all aspects of running a store. Training is structured in two-week implements. Each period the trainee will shadow a different member of the management team providing exposure to men's and women's merchandising, campus recruiting, scheduling, and basic principles of management.
The general manager will conduct weekly performance assessments. Ideally, progression from this position to store manager should be within 6-8 months after which trainees are evaluated and tested for possible home office opportunities.
So, what career opportunities could you get out of this program?
Career opportunities include and are not limited to:
- District management

About A&F:
Abercrombie & Fitch is the most successful specialty retailer in operation today. Their casual, classic, all-American lifestyle brand of clothing is synonymous with quality. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the Abercrombie & Fitch brands have never been more powerful or more profitable.
A&F's brand-powered momentum is fueled by additional lifestyle reinforcement. Every aspect of their stores - the music, the marketing and photos, and overall aesthetic - has made the in-store experience more potent than ever. Their web site, abercrombie.com, receives more than 1 million hits per month. Through the web site, e-commerce has expanded the A&F experience beyond their stores, and gives customers access to the brand from anywhere at any time.
With the addition of Abercrombie… the lifestyle for kids 7-14, and Hollister Co., a West Coast inspired line of clothing, and the launch of our newest concept, RUEHL, the brand has never been stronger. Our focus, strategy, and planning are tuned for long-term, consistent growth.
Our home office or "college campus," is a 300-acre command center set in rural Ohio right outside of the city of Columbus. The campus is an Adirondack-inspired setting derived from the company's founder in 1892. Creativity and brand imaging are consistently communicated through a "work hard, play hard" mentality. With over 900 employees the A&F campus was designed as an extension of the company's brand-a place for the associates to work, play and live the Abercrombie lifestyle.
