Pros

Amazing discount Cool coworkers Inclusivity Potential good role models Advancement opportunities Free product

Cons

Not enough pay for amount of work A lot of managers have been there for a while so the bad ones advance and don't get caught They limit your discount You can never take a full weekend off as a manager. This means your work life balance is not good. You also work 6 day weeks during the holidays and this is mandatory. If you're not a store manager, you don't get a paid vacation. More sick time needed during pandemic and not provided.

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
