Meeting interesting people, employee discount & 2k/week checks during Xmas
Cons
Extremely high standards & favoritism. If the upper-management in the district like you, they’ll do anything they can to see that you succeed. If they don’t like you, they’ll do everything they can to bring you down.

Thank you for sharing your review! We truly appreciate your feedback!
- Diversity & inclusion throughout employees
- No dress code (other than inappropriate clothing obviously and occasional Journeys t-shirts during holidays)
- Paid training
- Flexible schedule (at least at my store)
Cons
- Horrible corporate mentality
- Only the sales leads and above work on commission even though every employee has to HARD sell
- Sales goals that are unrealistic and based off of the previous year's numbers
- Little to no benefit for reaching or surpassing the ridiculous sales goals
- District managers and corporate employees who say you're not good at your job unless you practically beg customers to buy socks and multiple pairs of shoes even if they came in knowing exactly what they want (to the point of annoying the customer)
- Verbal, then write up, then immediate termination if you don't meet or surpass EVERY single category in your MPR (monthly progress report)
- District managers who demote the best managers and transfer people to other stores with no say in the matter, as well as letting certain bad managers get away with things without reporting it
- lowwwww pay for what is expected of the employee
