Pros

40% off everything. That is just about the only good thing about this company. I wasted over two years here and have nothing to show for it. I BUSTED MY ASS! For nothing...they appreciate no one

Cons

Everything and anything about this company is a con. They treat you like complete crap, no matter if you're just a part timer or you're management. Forced to work AT LEAST 45 hrs a week as a manager, usually you work 50+, especially during Back to School and Holidays and you actually will work about 60+. Management OT is HALF time....HALF time!! Are you kidding me!? This company has a horrible turn over rate. They don't care if you're happy or not because they will pretty much tell you there is plenty of people out there that will do your job. I worked for Journey's for 2 years and in my last year there, I probably saw over 10 different management changes throughout my district....that is ridiculous! They will promise you a promotion, but just dick you around until you either quit or they can fire you. Most pathetic excuse for a company. Will never even shop here again!

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
