Journeys reviews

I can give an endless amount of reasons why it says "Disappointed" at the top. I fully and completely understand the strict discipline, the attitude and aggressiveness an employee needs to have and every superior in the chain above them. What seems to be a company wide problem is just that tho, the very aggressive atmosphere is great in so many ways and is KEY for being successful in this type of business, but what is constantly overlooked company wide everyday is the tunnel vision it causes all of the upper management to have. I'm talking about the SM, the DM and RM. The constant need to feel like you need to be intimidating at all times to everyone gets out of control and causes DMs to overlook the real potential and the right employees that really are making a difference and will continue to grow in the company which will benefit all.

Work far too much and don't get paid accordingly. During the busy seasons (christmas, back to school, summer) you're working 6 days a week with minimum 9 hour shifts, generally ten. If you live any distance from your family, you don't get to see then for thw holidays. I spent christmas alone because management doesn't get off except for the day of. The hours drain you and upper management doesn't care. They'll replace you before working with you to make your job better. The job just consumes your life and barely leaves room for a social life, due to long and irregular hours.
