Pros

Free uniform, provided at least 2-3 full outfits and 1 pair of shoes for every season. Fellow sales associates are nice to work with 40% employee discount In depth training / look into the company, you truly learn a lot about a great company

Cons

Managers/Leads push employees A LOT, can sometimes be too much. Not much room to grow in my opinion Hours aren't that great Sales goals are unrealistic

Pros

Great people, atmosphere, and products. Easy interview, paid $9.50/hr, not many large/difficult tasks asked of you.

Cons

Customers usually in a bad mood, early hours sometimes, days can get extremely busy out of nowhere so you gotta like working quickly

Pros

The people are the best. The culture is very relaxed. The underdog mentality is kind of an ethos. There are lots of opportunities within the company.

Cons

Hard to think differently sometimes. Not as many resources as larger footwear companies. Bifurcated office locations. We don't leverage our domestic manufacturing capabilities as well as we could.
