Pros

i enjoyed helping customers and selling shoes, the employee discount was very nice at manager level, it low for part time. you can work as much over time as you would like. Nice friendly environment to work.

Cons

Store managers can be lazy. they will make you do all the work and sit in the backroom. goals are impossible to hit most days. its impossible to get a day off. they over work you and only give one day off a week. you have to work 8hour shift 4 days a week and one 12 hour shift. you don't get lunch breaks because you can leave the store. she even if you do take one and a customer comes in you have to stop eating and help them. They had me come in and work and told me they couldnt give anymore hours out so i realized i didnt get paid. they will change the schedules around last minute.

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
