Pros

Loose dress code and the discounts were very nice.

Cons

Worst job I’ve ever had hands down. Training was awful. If you wanna look and feel like an idiot for not knowing anything and get yelled at for it work here! maybe I got a very terrible manager but besides that the labor is so intense for $16 an hour. Almost falling off those ladders holding so much weight on one hand is so scary . If you’re afraid of heights DO NOT apply here . You will be required to climb ladders with one hand which are super high up. They make u get in your hands and knees to show people socks and make it very obvious who is their favorite because of how many commissions they made. My manager would lie to customers to make sales and would take MY commissions . I can’t stress enough not to work here SUCH a dangerous and stressful job .

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
