Pros

The overall job was fun. Selling cool shoes to local people. Getting them hip on new fashion trends and selling socks, multiples and accessories was easy! As long as you werent afraid to be told no a couple of times and just let the 'no' wash away with every customer, it's as easy as pie!

Cons

I was told when I started the company that I would be looking at anywhere between 40-50 hours a week with the base salary of a tad shy of 200. There would be potential upwards movement with the company and I would be placed on the fast track with the company to have my own store. Obviously this never happened, as the Manager of my store was intimidated by me, apparently this person had never been in management before this and would constantly correct things you would say to a customer right in front of them, complain about things in front of customers and constantly argue with you to the point of where you wanted to walk out.

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
