Pros

- The staff felt like a family. The company is very big on connecting with employees and customers. - Awesome environment! Not much cleaning compared to other retail stores. - 50% off for employee sales was dope.

Cons

- You can achieve your sales goals but still get disciplined for not adding enough socks. - The concept of bringing three boxes of shoes to a customer every time quickly creates "go backs", which is not fun when there is high traffic

Good workspace and colleagues, bad management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- friendly environment and colleagues - discounts on all of the products - young people of similar backgrounds make this a very easy going and fun job

Cons

- bad branch management, seemingly doing what they want while ignoring the company's philosophy - stay on their good side and you're good, cross that line and you're out of there in no time
