Pros

Before the left genesco we got 40% at Jerneys. Their sister store. Coming from a sports family it was easy to shop for the holidays.

Cons

Everything! So many issues on every level. Chinese overtime ($2)but still expected to work long shifts without backup. Almost every shift your Completely alone without breaks. Not ok or legal. Tried not to pay out acrewed vacation hours. Horrorable benafits. Low pay. Just say no!
