What is the hiring process like at Skechers U.S.A.?

Generous salary and shoe discounts

Working at Skechers was truly one of the worst experiences of my life. I have over 7 years of professional marketing experience, so I joined one of their marketing teams to realize the team was completely dysfunctional despite the opportunities promised in the interview process. All approvals have to go through to the VP/upper management and there is no cross-functional collaboration (hence no transparency across teams). Business decisions are based solely on arbitrary leadership's personal opinions, so there is no process or consistency. One thing could be approved one day and leadership could change their mind the next week. The culture is so old school that doesn't align with the modern way of working or hybrid culture (ex: everyone is expected to be at their desk from 9-5/6 pm regardless if there is enough work). Managers will monitor your Microsoft Teams status, so most employees walk on eggshells. Almost all the leaders are micromanagers creating a toxic environment for anyone not on leadership. The primary goal was not to sell shoes but to keep upper management happy. Would never recommend anyone work at Skechers, please go find a healthier corporate job elsewhere.

New experiences everyday, having easy conversations with customers and achievable targets are set. Employee discounts on a range of products are an extra perk.

Like a lot of retail jobs, there is not much flexibility. Your schedule is strict and when it is not busy in store it is required you act busy. Not a job for those socially inclined.

It's easy and is a good learning experience for social interaction and customer service.

Lack of organization of shipment process because they will send us randomly organized shoes that we will have to go through to put on the sales floor. Not enough room easily organize all of the shoes that we receive.
