Pros

Flexible schedule, discount. Around sports most of the time. Not really that much pressure, other than trying to please customers, while incredibly understaffed! Good insurance for full-time employees

Cons

staffing is at bare minimum...my store spent $1.5 renovation, yet staffing levels are lower than before renovation. Managers are robots...no ability to use critical thinking skills. NO INCENTIVE compensation period...how do you think employees are going to stay motivated?

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.
