Pros

40% off, flexible schedule, opportunity for promotions if you had the right DM

Cons

Pay is just awful for all positions! journeys is extremely cheap when it comes To their employees when they spend hundreds/thousands/millions on Nashville every year for selected managers who hit their 100k increase. It’s crappy because managers who don’t make it feel unappreciated, also putting their sweat, blood and tears into the job! being over worked! Expected to work 6 days a week during holidays as if we don’t have families ourself, meanwhile DMs and up get their weekends and holidays off. Expected to work 45+ hours a week, holiday season it’s 6 days a week 50+ hours. There is no work/home life balance at all. DMs favor certain managers. you get no appreciation from anyone unless you’re making their expectations. Unrealistic goals especially in a low volume store. SOPs = multiples, socks, acc are expected to be made everyday, week, month & yearly. = we are human it should be ok if we have an off day or week, even a month!

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
