Pros
Tradehome Shoes has been great to me. Started out as a PT with no real vision for what I wanted in life and 6 years later I have run 3 different stores and I am incredibly happy. Tradehome has given me opportunities to see parts of the world I would not have seen if it wasn’t for them. It has given me a tremendous amount of personal growth, stronger work ethic, greater self-discipline, and friendships that I will have for the rest of my life. It’s a job that when you work hard and put in the time and are willing to listen and learn from your superiors you will have endless opportunities. The ESOP is a massive bonus to have as well and gives me have a sense of relief that when my time is done that I will be taken care of.
Cons
The hours can definitely suck, especially holiday or back to school hours. If you aren’t willing to sacrifice a couple weeks or a month or so it probably won’t be worth it for you. There is a bit of favoritism in the company and some of the set salaries for some managers are very questionable.
