Pros

Exciting brands to partner with and grow.

Cons

Dated business model and systems. Hard to create OTB with dead stock stuck in locations. No privacy with open floor plan. Hard to be successful as an outsider lacking cumulative knowledge. Outside hires only really considered for failing departments. Seems very narrow at the top.

Pros

Nothing, management needs to do better for previous and current employees.

Cons

I could give ZER0 stars I would. This company is the absolute worst, and I MEAN THE ABSOLUTE WORST for communication and requesting any information. Ive been trying for a month to reach Hr or anyone who could help me with my previous employment with Calares/ Famous footwear and not one time has anyone reached out or responded after NUMEROUS calls, emails and physical request. If you have kids, I would HIGHLY recommend do not work for this company if you want to loose all benefits for your kids.
