Pros

Salary and benefit is decent

Cons

Everything else. Money is good but rest is terrible. Toxic, gossip, back stabbing, super fake, counter productive meetings, over working for no reason, talking someone's back is normal here. On boarding is a joke and new person is simple burden to everyone. Leadership or management put dump on you cause they are over worked and miserable. Very cliques. Relocation has 1 year repayment rule and it will be the longest one year you will experience. People who stay here long, either they have family or previous companies they worked for were worst ever so they are thankful in this horrible environment. I'm not the case, I experienced positive and amicable team so definitely this company is no no.

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.
