Pros

It is the "cool" place to work in the mall when you are in high school. It was a very laid back work place.

Cons

After high school, you figure out it kinda sucks to work there. The money is horrible for the managers but of all the hours you work. In the 5 years I worked there, the store went through dozens of manager because of pay and work schedule.

Pros

The pros of working in a Journey's store include the 40% discount, commission structure and the upbeat music played throughout the store. Also, there are opportunities for employees to score free product!

Cons

There are a lot of cons when it comes to working for Journeys. First, salaried positions are paid very poorly with the exception of the store manager. Additionally, Journeys tends to promote people to positions of leadership based on sales alone rather than considering sales and leadership as co-dependent qualities of a good manager. Many store managers are excellent salespeople but horrible managers and thus, there is a high rate of employee turnover.
