Pros

40% discount, the full time benefits they rub in your face seem great but when it comes time to utilize them it’s suddenly situational. I assume that’s a location issue with us though so I’d still count that as a pro. Being able to wear what you like ( unless it’s shorts, a tank top, skirt birks, crop top )

Cons

I was a branch manager for 2 years prior to moving to journeys. I only left due to moving back to America. I have extensive sneaker knowledge, store knowledge, management knowledge and much more and yet I’m treated like a child. I was told in my second interview I would get rotating weekends off. Now that I have started im being told management HAVE to work every Saturday and Sunday. Not to mention that this is the only establishment I’ve ever known where full time is 45 hours not 40. My daily shifts are 9-7:30, or 11-9:30. I just think the expectations are ridiculous. The numbers were expected to meet with socks or shoe care as well as making sure the store is up to par and the employees are okay.

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
