Pros

The only good thing about working there is the employee discount. And even that it's only 20%. The military discount is better than that.

Cons

The management takes advantage of the young employees that don't know how they should be treated in the work environment. I worked 14 hour shifts regularly because we were so short. I worked ridiculous hours and the managers made me feel guilty if I couldn't come in when someone else called out. Management is where everything is going wrong here. They don't are about the employees. To them the associates are only bodies to stand at registers. No growth opportunity here unless you're one of their favorites.

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.
