Pros

Coworkers were cool to work with

Cons

Heavily commission-based with the lowest base pay I’ve ever seen (mine was about $5/hr). I’ll never understand companies who push so hard for you to sell their products, but won’t even give you a decent commission compensation either. Then want you to work 6 days w mandatory weekends. So much for “flexibility”. I got a really bad taste when I got told customers were “liars” bc they didn’t want to spend their money on extra things. Ya’ll don’t know people’s situations and nor do you pay enough for me to try and judge. That mom probably worked her butt off to be able to just afford a pair of shoes for their kid, who are you to say otherwise? And in this economy? No thanks.

Pros

- Diversity & inclusion throughout employees - No dress code (other than inappropriate clothing obviously and occasional Journeys t-shirts during holidays) - Paid training - Flexible schedule (at least at my store)

Cons

- Horrible corporate mentality - Only the sales leads and above work on commission even though every employee has to HARD sell - Sales goals that are unrealistic and based off of the previous year's numbers - Little to no benefit for reaching or surpassing the ridiculous sales goals - District managers and corporate employees who say you're not good at your job unless you practically beg customers to buy socks and multiple pairs of shoes even if they came in knowing exactly what they want (to the point of annoying the customer) - Verbal, then write up, then immediate termination if you don't meet or surpass EVERY single category in your MPR (monthly progress report) - District managers who demote the best managers and transfer people to other stores with no say in the matter, as well as letting certain bad managers get away with things without reporting it - lowwwww pay for what is expected of the employee
