Pros

The culture that this company drives on an everyday basis is built around family. Everything we do at work or outside work allows us to positively impact every person we encounter. When you're an employee who has a burning desire to become successful and develop a career, Journeys WILL provide the proper mentorship and support to reach your goals. The harder you work to succeed, the HARDER your mentors will work to get you to where you need to be. We are a company that is all about PEOPLE, we just happen to sell shoes.

Cons

It can get busy and overwhelming at times which is never a bad thing. We're all about providing 100% customer service to everyone and as many people as we can. It might fluster people at the beginning, but we're all about development and making people more successful to be comfortable on the sales floor.

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
