Pros

Pros - -Other kids I worked with were cool -discount was 40%

Cons

Cons- -The manager had a "favorite system" so if she didn't like you, you were a nobody -Manager talked trash about employees behind their back -the hours were terrible and if you ask for more, they will give you one extra day a week then cancel it and say "it was a slow day" -manager and co-manager took all my sales because they are based on commission and I was hourly -I worked there for almost a year, and got 9 hours a week max. People that worked there for a month were getting 25-30 hours (even after the manager was done talking trash). And I knew what I was doing and how to get things done.

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
