Pros

The only pro to working here was the discount.

Cons

Training: "Here stand at this computer and watch these video, and by watch I mean don't really watch, because they're dumb, but you have to answer the questions." - verbatim what my manager told me my first day. So, overall you don't really learn how to do anything - you only learn by doing. Working / Environment: Once you kind of learn the groove the work becomes easier, but knowing how many goals you have to met is overwhelming as the numbers made no sense and had to be memorized. Some days I felt like I did great, but didn't make any goals. Every month you have to fill out a sheet saying why you didn't made you goals and what you can do better on, I felt like a child getting in trouble with my 1st grade teacher. Overall, I feel as though I was never a part of the "family" that my manager claimed the store was. I always felt like the new girl despite watching people get hired after me,; although, most of them ended up quitting. Pay: You must meet goals to get paid well. Leaving: I left for college with the intent of coming back to the store over breaks, and I told my managers this. When I was at college, my store manager changed and I was removed from both of our work group chats without reason - not very professional.

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
