Pros

Nothing good to say about the place

Cons

Where do I start... Full time is 30 to 40 hours a week so plan on getting 30. Your required to have fully open availability 7day of the week and your schedule will change weekly making it impossible to get another job or go to school. Not being avaliable to work one day out of the week can cause u to be cut down to part time and or let go. They rarely promote from within bye rarely I mean never. There stores are understaffed wich causes their employees to work extremely hard for the pay equivalent to construction work. I highly recommend not working for this company and Or supporting this company bye making purchases from them. Don't let them trap u in this underpaying go no where job it will just waste your time.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
