Pros

Opportunity to get promoted is awesome. Learning how to sell is a great skill that can help you overall in life. Nice life skills gained for someone young.

Cons

Everyone has a sales goal. But not everyone makes commission. So the ones that don't make commission cut into the sales of the ones that do. It's like free money the company doesn't have to pay out to the associates but as a manager I miss out. What is paid to a co-manager is a joke. I'm here 45 hours a week and can barely pay bills. Journeys should be ashamed. And we don't make commission or get credit for buy online pick up in store orders but we have to use our inventory. Just greedy.

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
