Pros

I'm within my first 6 months and the organization is going through some exciting changes and really embracing transformation starting at the top. I think the trajectory of the company is really positive and the change/transformation will be a key to the future success. The leaders are very down -to-earth and welcoming. If you played in team sports at some point in your life, you will naturally know how to operate in this culture. They are very team focused and competitive. If you show commitment to the company they will quickly embrace you as one of their own.

Cons

With any significant change, some people aren't going to be happy with it. This creates some discomfort but I think its a natural part of change.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
