Pros
Decent discount to Journeys stores as well as Lids
Cons
Way too relaxed. The culture of the entire company mirrors the kind of party you go to in high school. The party at that kids house that nobody really knew too well but when you said their name your parents told you not to associate with those people. Almost like that Mormon kid that was defecting from the church and acted like a catholic girl on steroids for risk taking, only worse. Get in with your manager. Make sure they like you. I. Under-trained managers. Mine termed people, including me, with no notice. I was told it was because I was seasonal. I know that's a lie though because in the on-boarding process, there is a section you need to get the manager to do. It asks if the associate is seasonal, regular part time, or full time. The reason I know I was logged as part time and not seasonal was... I did that entire section MYSELF; I checked regular part time. II. Socks. Journeys ankle socks are 25% of the price at Target but you are required to sell them and meet goals. In 6 shifts I asked 109 people if they wanted socks with their shoes (I counted). Of those people, 6 bought socks. That's a 5% success rate. It's not that I can't sell either. Trust me, I once sold a Kia Forte to a Redneck who came to the wrong dealership to buy a F150. III. Making Commission... For Managers. Almost all managements pay is commission. Associates can make comm but you have to exceed sales goals by an extremely high percentage. You will be told, more than likely passive-aggressively, that when you reach goal, you have to log your sales under your managers employee code. Because "they are busy managing and can't help customers to meet sales goals". Which means they are too busy sitting in the back playing on apps like Lulu or Adult Friend Finder. IV. Scheduling. Again, get in with your manager. It's 1000% a popularity contest.
