Pros

Very good discounts on shoes

Cons

I work under a manager who knowingly flouts laws around sick time usage, and who instills fear in employees by giving inappropriate edicts related to taking earned time off and even what running shoes to wear to the job. The company has a culture that purports to be all about making employees motivated to sell, but in reality only cares about the bottom line. The management turnover is ridiculous and top management seems to have no clue or does but isn’t willing to actually change anything for the better. Schedules each week are done haphazardly, and one never know what hours they are working until practically the day before. There is also zero respect for diversity,

Pros

Friendly and supportive coworkers. Good environment if you're looking for a simple part-time retail job. Opportunities to learn basic customer service and retail operations.

Cons

Leadership presence on the sales floor was barren and inconsistent during busy periods, which increased the workload for frontline employees. Often felt like operational metrics and sales took priority over employee support and development. Communication from management regarding scheduling and attendance expectations was often unclear and felt impersonal. Attendance policies were enforced very strictly, with little flexibility for occasional mistakes. Limited feedback and transparency from management when workplace issues arose.
