The Fast and the Urban Outfitters

You wouldn't think of a small mall clothing store as being a good place to work after college. But behind every small mall clothing store is a home office controlling hundreds of other small stores (actually there is a storage room for all of the inventory but you get the point). Urban Outfitters is ranked as one of the fastest growing companies to work for by Fortune magazine. At the home office they need accountants, IT people, graphic and new media artists, designers, logistics specialists, marketing people, and any other business position you can think of. My guess is that you will get to work in one of the small stores at some point in the early stages of your training, but you will most likely work most of the time at the base. The culture of this company is pretty cool from what I've heard, and I'm sure the dress code is pretty lax as well. I'm sure you get pretty sweet discounts on their clothes too (if you're into that, they are rather trendy).

I'm sure after a few years, you will have saved up some money and could probably run your own store for them if you have a little entrepreneur in you. Lots of opportunity here with a good company. Here's the direct link to UO's home office jobs. Good luck!
