Abercrombie Impact vs Hollister Model?
Okay so I just got a call from Abercrombie accepting me as an impact member and they gave me a date for the orientation. When I did the interview I didn't realize that I applied to be an impact team member instead of the model. So it is not really the position I wanted to apply for...
I am applying at hollister today for the model position.
Which one would you rather take? The Hollister Model Position or the Abercrombie impact member position with the possibility of being able to switch to being a model later?

To be honest, model position is actually boring just like what the person above said. I heard a lot of people transferring to impact because they get to chill in the back and they keep themselves busy. And I know some people will say impact are not that good looking but that's not exactly true, there are models who are average looking and there are impact who chose to be impact not because of their look but because they didn't wanna be bored while working. You gotta enjoy and love what you do. As for your tough question maybe u should ask the manager in abercrombie if you can later on transfer to be a model. If you can't then be a model at hollister
I work as a model at hollister, sometimes it's boring as eff and i rather be an impact.
Being an impact, you don't have to listen to the music that's on an hour rerun. And usually you're working 4 or 5 hour shifts depending on your age, and if you have to stand on the floor for 5 hours that music is so annoying. As well folding when it's one of those says where you really have nothing to do, it's really just messing up what you've done already and redoing it again, because if you're standing around you get yelled at by managers. Also you have to deal with some customers who really aren't nice and since it's hollister as model, then they complain about loudness of music, smell and not having the "right size.
But i know that impacts can be really busy because those are the ones who do size checks, sensors, shipment, and backstock and the sometimes have to come out and be models on the floor when the models don't show up to work. so it's really either or. good luck and welcome to HCO or just ANF :]
