Pros
As long as you have a pulse you can get a store. At that point it's a great place to learn. You experience all types of customers, deal with inventory, cash, and employees. For those with no management experience, Journeys is a great stepping stone. After leaving Journeys you'll laugh at your new boss when he asks if it's alright to give you 3 hours of overtime. 43 hours? BAH! I use to work at Journeys, schedule me for 60 boss!
Cons
For myself, the pay wasn't worth the time. Journeys works on a rotating schedule where the manager and co manager trade Sundays off every week. Basically, you get off every other Sunday, which ends abruptly when sales or holidays come around. Then during the week you have one day off, which is the other person's double. Makes for an average 45-55 hour work week. Simply put, this job can consume your life.
