Pros

40% off discount, meeting new people all the time.

Cons

You’re meeting new people all the time because so many quit more than they get fired There is a cap limit on the discount, for PT’s it’s 400 Management doesn’t know how to treat their PT’s You always had to be scared when the district manager came to visit. As a PT you get paid min wage and it’s definitly NOT enough for all the work that managers throw at you As a co-manager you don’t get paid enough for all the secondhand work the manager ignores and makes you do. They threaten your job constantly, but they actually need you. As a co, you work ridiculous hours, about 80-105 hours biweekly. NOTHING about this job is professional or is worth keeping, you’re forced to worry about sales that are impossible to make, push extra items onto customers that obviously don’t want them. It’s easy to become a co manager, they’ll throw anyone in that spot to just have someone. Managers get 1 day a week off, during down season you get 2 and if you want vacation time, good luck with that kid.

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
