Pros

if you're looking for a fairly relaxed environment then this would be a good first job, you can get promoted quickly just be being able to sell really well, discount is pretty good at 40% off on everything even sale items.

Cons

salary for co-managers suck, like you get to slave away for 6 days a week to make the company like 6-7,000 dollars a week but you get back 4% of everything you sell, your overtime is like $3 or $4 per hours over 40, if you're planning on quitting due to things you can't control such as moving you're better off not putting your two weeks in because as soon as they get that they'll fire you, pretty much they don't care about their employees or managers they care about numbers and their customers and saving their asses when it comes to money. remember if you choose to work at journeys you can and will be replaced at any given time

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
