Pros

Good employee discount. They are pretty flexible in letting you set your store the way you see fit. Most DM's are friendly.

Cons

Upper management and staff have never worked in a store. They do not listen to managers who have been there longer than they have. Rely way too much on surveys as an indicatorof customer satisfaction..

Pros

The benefits package was slightly above average and the salary compensation was comparable to other employers in the area.

Cons

The management philosophy was very draconian. If you made a mistake, you were severely punished psychologically and belittled. Managers and team leads do not get ANY training in leadership beyond buzz words. The "Management Values" are not adhered to in any shape or form and frankly were an insulting joke. They would say that they value input, but only if it fits their current view of things. Creativity was squashed and risk taking was actively discouraged. Wolverine is a study in how NOT to manage people. Backstabbing is the only way to get ahead.

Pros

Fun place to work if you love footwear for all different generations. Make your own schedule.

Cons

I had 5 different district managers in the 2 years that I worked there. Upper management is utter chaos with no real direction.
