Great company, upper management is questionable

Pros

Amazing company to work for. I've been with Converse for about 2.5 years and I could see myself here for the long run. Promoted from sales associate to a lead position. Great pay, great benefits, and random incentives all the time. Free clothes every few months, and sneakers. Great discount available with any ongoing sale. Definite room to move up in the company, as it is always growing. The name sells the sneaker.

Cons

Upper management is iffy. If there is an issue you typically have to resolve it yourself, as district managers are MIA a lot of the time. Sometimes feels as though even store mangers are willing to throw you under the bus to save their own butt. A lot if the time you can't even go to the DM with issues with store manager so you're on your own.

Pros

The people who work at Converse tend to be very creative, passionate and 'weird' people. I felt right at home and many of my co-workers are some of my closest friends. Converse as a company treats it employees fairly well and there is room for growth whether you want to stay within the company or switch to our parent company, Nike.

Cons

Management seems to lack the passion and communication needed to keep a brand new inline store going. For a brand that has been around for quite some time it has definitely lost it's edge in targeting the right market. The brand is becoming too generic and lost the unique qualities and that trickles down to the what the associates wear. For example you are only allowed to wear certain pants and shirts however the dictation of wearing a uniform contradicts what Converse initially stood for and claims to still stand for being imperfectly perfect.

Pros

Good Pay/ Good Management Staff

Cons

Distro centers are not in line with stores. Stores are sent way more product than they can hold.
