Pros

Employees are allowed to wear whatever they want. Employees are also encouraged to dye their hair, show off tattoos and piercings. Just has to be family friendly - no alcohol/drugs stuff (unless it's against those things) and no naked people. The company also is all about promoting from within.

Cons

Sales goals are impossible to reach when there is nobody shopping in the mall. Customers can be horribly rude to employees for doing their job such as upselling and asking customers to try things on. Need thick skin to deal with them. Low pay.

Pros

- 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
