Pros

Great place to work, people are fun and hard working and really care about their work and each other. Company is doing well and growing, so that makes everything better! Love the values of Passion, Accountability, Collaboration and Humility. Never worked for a company that lives their values as consistently as DSW.

Cons

Because the company is growing and retail is tough, things are always changing - this can be a positive or a negative, depending on how much you enjoy change. It can sometimes feel in the stores like the home office is always throwing new things at them, and I know this can be frustrating as we work through the best process to make great ideas work for our associates and customers.

Pros

30% Employee Discount, sometimes around the holidays they'll have an additional for employees. Sometimes you'll get along with other associates.

Cons

- Poor hours, which goes both ways, you could either get not enough or too many hours. I was pulling around 30hrs a week for the first few months when I first got hired. - No appreciation or acknowledgment if you're actually doing the work and not just focusing on looking good for the customers. - Poor management. No communication in between the superiors, none of the updates they get (as far as procedures and what not) get passed down to the employees that actually need to use that information. - You won't be able to do anything about thieves, other than make them known to managers, and attempt to watch them while juggling a thousand other things. - No room for growth unless you've gotten hired through nepotism or you're willing to lose your soul for that job. - No adequate raises. I started at 15.50$ and ended at 17.70$ and I worked there for nearly 4 years (2 months shy) putting in a ton of effort.
