Would be a fun experience, but the location of my store was less than ideal. - Sales Associate Journeys Employee Review

Pros

A fun experience with awesome coworkers and fun product. A pretty good discount, and a super relaxed dress code. A super easy entry level job, and a good company to work for. No elevator music, they have good music that fits the style of the store. But the CDs can start to repeat enough times to become painful! Sidenote: Discount worked at other Genesco-owned brands as well, like Lids.

Cons

I didn't like one of the managers, but that was just a personal thing. She just wasn't nice. The store I worked at was in a mall that was practically dead, so the customers were few and far between, making meeting goals difficult.

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
