How are the career development opportunities at DSW?

Friendly work environment and supportive coworkers. Employee discounts are generous for shoe lovers. Flexible scheduling makes it good for students or part-time workers.

Pay is on the lower side for retail. Can be fast-paced during sales and holiday seasons. Limited career growth opportunities unless moving into management.

Always a sale! Depending on your team you can definitely make it thru the day.

Employee appreciation and recognition is rarely recognized.

Easy going environment to work

Not much career growth opportunity

Shoes Okay discount Relatively easy compared to other retailers

Unable to make any real business decisions Cannot hold staff accountable without a ton of red tape Poor training for all levels IT and technology is absolutely terrible. Doesn’t work correctly, outdated and inefficient Corporate level management is awful. Do not hold themselves to the values or to the standards they expect. Unsupportive. Lacking knowledge. Show favoritism. Not enough payroll allocation to support the work or the customer experience expectations. Values are force fed but not followed, or given practical ways to demonstrate the values. No recognition. Delayed merit increases. No point in performing well because it isn’t even acknowledged. Unable to make decisions to support the needs of the business. Market leaders have you running in circles just to tell you to stop and run in the opposite direction. There are definitely some racial biases at play. No work/life balance whatsoever
