Poorly trained managers and fundamental problems with their hierarchy make working at this place a chore. - Part-Time Sales Associate Payless ShoeSource Employee Review

Pay sucks, Hours were bad, Managers were terrible, HR was non-existent, Gender Biased against Men, Co-workers were all under 21 females, No recognition for work, No benefits, Demands too much for Minimum Wage(closing and opening the store), Confusing Hierarchy(Let me explain what I mean. This company is the only retail outlet I have ever worked for where normal associates are promoted to Store Manager randomly for a few hours a day. This creates problems for 3 reasons, 1. You never know who is the person in charge of you at any given hour, 2. The associates are clearly NOT qualified to Lead, 3. If you have a problem with an associate it gives you either the option to demand more of them while you are in the Leader position OR someone else who has a problem with you can do the same. It is called the "Smiles-Leader". I suggest you bring this up to your interviewer before you get hired. It is a horrible system that needs to be trashed immediately.)
