Pros

good discount, 40%. laid back environment, friendly co workers.

Cons

when you make it up to a co manager you work commission, $1.75 per hour and 4% of your sales. which at the end of the week IF you make your goal comes to the equivalent of federal minimum wage, 7.25 an hour which is not work the work and stress we put ourselves through to make our goals. The managers really can't seem to get it together and instead from promoting from within they bring people in from the outside who have NO experience managing a retail store. The turn over rate is incredible, but it's because the managers change the schedules constantly with zero communication from the managers about it. It's almost as if they do it to find a reason to fire people. In my experience I have seen people come and go. I have been passed up for promotions promised to me and have lost co- workers because of the lack of compassion in this company. I'm currently dealing with HR.

Pros

- Diversity & inclusion throughout employees - No dress code (other than inappropriate clothing obviously and occasional Journeys t-shirts during holidays) - Paid training - Flexible schedule (at least at my store)

Cons

- Horrible corporate mentality - Only the sales leads and above work on commission even though every employee has to HARD sell - Sales goals that are unrealistic and based off of the previous year's numbers - Little to no benefit for reaching or surpassing the ridiculous sales goals - District managers and corporate employees who say you're not good at your job unless you practically beg customers to buy socks and multiple pairs of shoes even if they came in knowing exactly what they want (to the point of annoying the customer) - Verbal, then write up, then immediate termination if you don't meet or surpass EVERY single category in your MPR (monthly progress report) - District managers who demote the best managers and transfer people to other stores with no say in the matter, as well as letting certain bad managers get away with things without reporting it - lowwwww pay for what is expected of the employee
