Pros

40% Discount Parking Breakfast every Friday SM Music Events Casual working environment

Cons

High Turn Over - Salaries are WELL BELOW industry standards. Politics - You have to stroke egos. Cultural clashes - Upper management are older, cheap and completely out of touch with the brand and its employees. Lack of innovation - Just sell shoes and keep the lights on. Summer Fridays - Just in July. Working from home - Frowned upon. Flex Time - Not allowed. Promotions - Very rare. If you want to be in management, you have to know or be related to someone in upper management. Work-Life Balance - Sell shoes and worry about life later.
