Pros
It used to be amazing, I kept hoping it would be like that again, but it never got close. Perks though.. sales reps are super nice The store is really big You can have as many hours as you want, bc everyone else left Sometimes you get free shoes from the shoe donation bin.
Cons
I worked here on an off for close to two years. If you’re taking a job here, these are some things you should take into consideration. No lunch breaks When they have sales competitions between employees and you win, don’t expect them to actually follow through on giving you what they said they would. Happened to me more than once. This brings down the entire energy of the team, and I’ve seen one by one- everyone quit and leave. A boss with a hot and cold personality. Called out sick literally *one* time in two years and they took away my “sales bonus”- I put it in quotes because nobody ever got them anyway. If you want to get this job to be a part of the running community, everything is scheduled while you’re working, so don’t bother, just run on your own. You won’t be valued as an employee unless you dedicate every living breathing moment to working at a retail shoe store. Idk anyone that does that for sometimes less than $10 an hour. Especially when you hire people in school that have other priorities. One manager actually does dedicate his life to his job and it doesn’t seem like he’s even valued. Never step in the owners way when he’s on his fits of rage. The owner even almost ruined my chances to get an apartment and start my career in a new state just because of his anger issues. So.. I’m writing this review because I’m finally cutting ties with this toxic environment. Maybe things will change because of this, maybe not.
