Pros

40% discount, met some great people, lived 15 mins walking distance from the job

Cons

-Disrespectful & unorganized management -Competition within co-managers & employees -VERY LOW PAY FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT'S DONE -Little to no hours -Being taken off the floor to do drags & then not meeting your sales goal for the day -A very high & unrealistic sales goal -Managers always said "You guys get paid hourly, we don't." BUT they got $1,000 paychecks for little that they do & us part-timers that bust their butt get no more than $100 (more if you're lucky) -The managers think you have no life; don't schedule you for weekdays, but schedule you on weekends -If it's slow, they will send you home WHICH MEANS LESS HOURS, LESS MONEY

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
