Pros

40% Discount Parking Breakfast every Friday SM Music Events Casual working environment

Cons

High Turn Over - Salaries are WELL BELOW industry standards. Politics - You have to stroke egos. Cultural clashes - Upper management are older, cheap and completely out of touch with the brand and its employees. Lack of innovation - Just sell shoes and keep the lights on. Summer Fridays - Just in July. Working from home - Frowned upon. Flex Time - Not allowed. Promotions - Very rare. If you want to be in management, you have to know or be related to someone in upper management. Work-Life Balance - Sell shoes and worry about life later.

Pros

Manageable Workload, Amazing discounts, very early leave time for closing shifts compared to other retail positions

Cons

Managers are required to be at work for 11 hours if you include one hour lunch. This means your whole day is gone whether you open or close the store. During slow days this can be draining and negatively impact sales.
