Pros

-The discount -The product -I loved working with the people that would come in, really down to earth customers, with cool personalities. - Would be great for a first job.

Cons

The amount of stress that went into this job for 7.25 was nothing. you would get paid 7.25 or commission depending on which was more for you that week. and there was NO way of getting a raise. Getting a raise is "selling more" but when there is no one in the mall, or you are doing stock for your whole shift, thats really really hard. The stress the managers put on us employees with sales goals, SOPs and their expectations was outrageous. No way for a carreer Every manager i met there was not even 21 years old, and had no experience.

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
