Pros

Good work environment with nice people. Flexible work hours. Causal dress code. Company is actively building and acquiring new stores. Good benefits package. Extensive training programs. Continued training throughout career. Meetings with CEO and other executives. Full gym and cafeteria. Pittsburgh has a low cost of living and a nice night life. Does not lay off distribution workers and gives them hours if they want tham (will find work for them to do). Good job security. Moving to a new and much bigger headquaters soon. Extensive intern and merchandise training program. Starting similar programs in finance.

Cons

Low salaries. Currenly being hit hard by the economy. Office is crowded.

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.
