Pros

Discount is $50 dollars of 40%. Say you got a ninty dollar pare of shoes and you use the 40%, you get $36 dollars taken off which leaves you $24 left in discount money. ( it does add up over the months)

Cons

So when working at journeys you have a weekly goal. If you make your goal, you get the 4% of each sale you get. But if u dont. Then u get paid 7.25. It’s unorganized. If your not aggressive, your sale will get taken by someone else. They do not care about your availability because the schedule doesn’t revolve around your schedule. ( a manager told me). If you want to work somewhere where it feels like family. Don’t work here. It feels like your fighting for every sale that you make. It may seem like a good thing in the beginning, but your going to realize it’s a mess in the end. Also just to be clear, you make $7.25 OR commission.

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
