Pros

- weekly pay - occasionally fun enviroment - they played mcr in stores

Cons

- sales leads and managers take sales from associates even if the manager has hit their sales goal and the associate is struggling, and then blame the associate when their sales are down - associates don’t make commission, only sales leads and management - at my location one of our managers would get mad over small stuff and go off calling every worker that wasn’t management stupid and an idiot and it created a poor work environment - customers are beyond stupid and rude - journeys claims to be an alt store or provide an attitude you can wear, but they employ people with little to no personality and dislike when you have one. - MANAGEMENT ARE LIARS!!!! i was told i was getting a permanent position and was hired outside of holiday season and then in january i was told i was seasonal and was let go! - you get written up for not bringing out 4 boxes of shoes and 2 pairs of socks to every customer (most people only want one pair of shoes and then you just have a bigger mess to clean up)

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
