I worked at A&F for a few months during the summer between my sophomore and junior year in college. Almost every employee was greek. My friend (a TriDelta) told me to come in and interview for the job. The manager asked two questions. The first one being if I have ever worked in retail before. The second question was which sorority I was apart of. I was hired that very day.
We all use to laugh about the interviewing process. It was a joke. If you looked good, you were asked two questions tops and were hired. If you didn't look good, it was a slightly more rigurous interview and you probably wouldn't have gotten the job.
My manager use to stand out in front of the UCF student union recruiting girls and guys who walked by wearing their greek letters.
I stayed for only two months. Working there put me in debt. You have to buy their clothing and it is EXPENSIVE even with the discount. Everytime the got a new clothing line in, you were required to buy more clothes that matched the new line. There were specific uniform guidelines. Now, there were about 50 employees so we each got about 6-18 hours a week and got paid $6 an hour. So, imagine earning about $120 a week (which was my average) and then needing to buy the A&F employee "uniform" about ever 2 weeks. Every two weeks, I would drop $500 on clothing to wear to work. Every employee did the same. A&F loses no money on salaries. Absolutely ridiculous. The slogan was "Abercrombie isn't a job...it's a hobby."
