Pros

you get some sort of discount. meaning you only get $40 a month to use as discount on anything in the store. the only pro is when its Christmas. you'll only commission then.

Cons

I worked here for 8 months. you get a weekly base pay of $140(some lower and some higher) then you better hope you sell because you only get 4% of what you sell. If you work as a co-manager they'll work you 50-70 hours a week. mostly open to close shifts. the store manager at my location didn't do much other than scream and treat the employees like they were dirt. I had one of the highest sales for the company and best numbers for the store and was looked past when time to get my own store.if you know how to kiss up you might move up in the company.also a lot of shady business within higher management.

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
