Pros
Management schedule was consistent with rotating weekends off and fair distribution of opening and closing shifts. DSW also has very Good benefits and insurance as well.
Cons
Payroll was cut dramatically in the past two years which put a Vast amount more of workload on all employees. Additional tasks have been added to the workload with that decreased payroll. They also removed the employee discount on clearance items which was very disappointing because that’s where we had the best deals. If they could at least raise the discount on regular merchandise for us that would have been something to show that they actually cared (Customers get better discounts FYI). Another thing is turnover....I have never in my life seen such turnover in retail....Ever!! I’m not talking about just associates but management as well!!! In just over two years with the company my store has seen 5 different Store Managers come and go along with 3 Co-Managers, about 7 Assistant managers, and countless associates.
