Pros

This company is founded on the passion for music in every persons life. To understand the hard work you put in you must believe in the companies values. Genesco has a hard structure because every great company needs to succeed. Were involved in the grammys, founder of the music educator award, lead sponsor in warped tour, and founder of the noise tour. We hold contest that give money back to childrens music education, that give shoes to its employees, and trips around the world. The most amazing thing about this company is the feeling of family. Ive met almost half of the people in washington and in home office and every one has the same feeling of warmth and love. We all our competitive and compassionate. I understand this job is only for ten percent of the world. High energy, love for music, and competitive. The pay is perfect if you love your job and believe in the culture. If i wanted tons and tons of money i would have became a lawyer.

Cons

Keeping up your work ethic everyday, theres no such thing as a bad day at journeys. It hard to say there cons, unless your the other 90 percent than youll think your over worked and under paid. I love feeling on top of the world every day, never feeling like im at work. Journeys offers a culture, not a work enviornment.

Pros

It's an extremely easy job, if you've worked in customer service and sales for years like I have. If you can make your sales goals, your DM is happy, and you get a bit of commission. It's seriously not hard to run one of these stores, if you have a good staff.

Cons

The salary is the worst I've ever seen. For an assistant manager position, they want you to work 45 hours a week to get your salary which is $200/week. If you DON'T work your required 45 hour weeks, you pay gets bumped to hourly which is 7.20/hr. You're making less than your hourly employees. So if you get sick, you're kind of screwed.

Pros

You can move up fast with minimal education requirements. You are judged solely by your work and not just by your seniority.

Cons

Low pay and lots of hours for field employees. No cost of living demographic balance. A manager in NYC will get paid the same as a manager in Little Rock, AR.
