Pros

Good discount on named brand. Good management, depending on who your manager is. Opportunity for advancement is easy, just tell HR you want to get into management and they will put you through training.

Cons

Bad manager at the end, my reason for leaving. Retail hours, so you have to work weekends and some holidays. Have to deal with customers and how much they complain.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
