Pros

-The people you work with are great! -The discount -Company car (they didnt have trackers when I was there but they have them now) -Company credit card for food and snacks -Teach you how to be a good leader

Cons

This place is like a CULT and the higher ups don't care about the work life balance of the people running their stores! The managers work 6 or 7 days a week, 60+ hours a week and some of them get paid minimum wage! The work/stress is not worth the pay! Also almost ALL companies have a meeting for ALL store managers at least once a year; at Journeys you have to "WIN" your way to Nashville for a "fun" trip that is just filled with more work! They start meeting super early and then feed your drinks at night and expect managers (who are usually super young) to behave themselves and function early the next morning. Like D.A.R.E they taught you when you were a kid, JUST SAY NO!!!

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
