Pros

The discounts at other companies under Wolverine Worldwide and the relationships built with certain customers.

Cons

Buckle your seat belts ladies and gents because this is a hefty one: - The lack of oversight and involvement in relationship with the harsh criticisms with upper management. To be more specific, I and three other part time workers were left to carry the store after an abandonment from out manager and no district manager reached out to help at any point. When we did receive new store management as well as district management things turned for the worst. A district manager was an arrogant "leader" who thrived off of bullying the lowly teenage girls employed at the stores. - I at one point was forced to pay for a customer in a separate state's shoes for a charge send. When asked to be reimbursed the company did what it does best and meandered around my questions, dodged my outreaches for a payback and eventually told me it was my fault with no other explanation. - A coworker went without pay for 3 months because the company hires incompetent managers. - I was begged to come in unscheduled and paid under the table by multiple managers.
