Company Profile
Abercrombie & Fitch is the most successful specialty retailer in the United States. Our casual, classic, all-American lifestyle brand of clothing is synonymous with quality.
The A&F culture is one-of-a-kind. We design, merchandise, market and live-the Abercrombie & Fitch brand.
A&F's brand-powered momentum is fueled by constant lifestyle reinforcement. Every aspect of our stores- including the music, the marketing and photos, and overall aesthetic-has made the in-store experience stronger than ever. Our web site, abercrombie.com, receives more than 1 million hits per month and has expanded the A&F experience beyond our stores.
With the addition of abercrombie, the lifestyle for kids 7-14, and Hollister Co., for 14-18 and RUEHL 23 and up, our brands have never been stronger. Our focus, strategy, and planning are tuned for long-term, consistent growth and international locations.
Manager-in-Training Program
The A&F training program is a comprehensive hands on and online 90-day plan focused on immersing the trainee in all aspects of running a store.

Each period the trainee will shadow a different member of the management team providing exposure to all principles of management. The store manager will conduct weekly performance assessments.

Jobs with the Fund The Fund for Public Interest Research was founded over 20 years ago to build support for public interest organizations to preserve the environment, protect consumers, and improve the quality of our government. Since then, the Fund has grown into the nation's leading citizen outreach network, working with some of the top progressive groups in the country, like the Sierra Club, the Human Rights Campaign, and the State PIRGs. The Fund has taken this bottom-up approach to the campaigns we've run, and we've won quite a few. We've won campaigns to clean up air pollution, protect our forest wilderness, reform political campaign finance, stop illegal polluters, protect gay rights and more. By going door to door, calling supporters, and meeting with people one-on-one, we've built the kind of political support that even the most entrenched politicians can't ignore. • Canvass Director As a canvass director for the Fund, you run a campaign office in one of dozens of cities throughout the country. The staff you supervise educate citizens about the issues and get them involved in campaigns to win progressive change. In essence, you build a team of committed activists, who, in turn, mobilize hundreds or thousands of citizens to take action. • Telephone Outreach Project (T.O.P.) Director Through telephone outreach, progressive organizations are able to reach, inform and mobilize thousands of citizen supporters. Directors of the Fund's Telephone Outreach Projects recruit and manage a staff of 20 to 30 articulate, committed people in order to raise funds and activate citizens over the phone. • Donor Staff As a Donor Development Associate, you develop deeper relationships between the state PIRGs and their members and, in so doing, motivate donors to give more to support the PIRGs' public interest research and advocacy. You call current members, ask them to meet with you one-on-one, and then engage them in conversations that often last an hour or more, helping to solidify support that may last a lifetime
