Pros

Easy job. Coworkers are usually cool people. Opportunities for advancement if you stick around long enough. Dress code is pretty lax.

Cons

Inconsistent hours and scheduling. VERY boring. Management can be unprofessional and simply annoying. Not a job you look forward to coming to. High expectations and low pay.

Pros

I enjoyed my work and the variety of customers. Bonuses were great and free merchandise. 40% discount at any Converse or Nike store. The manager that actually worked hard and was supportive of our section was Paul Perez. Love love love PAUL!

Cons

The management wasn't good. While I was there we went through at least 8 different managers. Customs section (where I worked) had little to no support.

Pros

Self motivators do well A lot of new talent being brought in Good people to work with PTO policy/ benefits

Cons

This used to feel like a family but since the move to Boston that feeling has disappeared. People who care about the success of the company are taken advantage of and are getting burnt out quickly with little to no compensation for the lack of work/ life balance. Flexibility on working from home and hours are completely at manager discretion creating a lot of inconsistency and animosity between department. Senior leadership can’t seem to stick to a direction, often changing the strategy mid season with what seems like little regard for the work that has gone into it already and the work that must be done to make up for the lack of time left to execute. In general it feels like SLT has no idea of the limitations of the tiny Converse company (since many are from the parent company NIKE. Converse is not NIKE and can’t operate like them without many more additional resources). The company feels lost and like we’re throwing everything at a wall just to see what sticks.
