Pros
They work around school schedules well. I always make really good friends with my coworkers. The tuition reimbursement is one of the best things, that Payless does for all of its employees.
Cons
I've worked at 3 of the Payless stores. Each different store seemed worse than the last. The store level employees are always great, but I haven't had a good manager at any of the stores. The first manager (multi store manager-worked for 2 of her stores) was always nice to your face, but she just told you what you wanted to hear. Newest manager, is one of the most rude people in existence, and he literally criticizes everything I do. I like to know I'm doing a good job. For as long as I've worked for Payless, I'm barely making above minimum wage. Corporate doesn't plan well. We will find out that they are changing a sale the day before it happens. DM's are always looking for something to be wrong. You can't have a perfect visit ever. This is a very disappointing place to work.
