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.

Pros

ESOP, Profit Sharing, health, dental and vision Insurance. Granted, this review could change depending on if they actually pay out the ESOP and Profit Sharing.

Cons

There’s so many. Goals that are always set with them knowing you’ll never be promoted. The locker room talks they call supervisor meetings. No follow up on performance, biased reviews submitted at year-end evaluations. They say reviews are to be honest without fear of retaliation which is the furthest thing from the truth. The home office will make sure they find every reason not to promote someone. They have their favorites who brown-nose and don’t challenge leadership. When upper management is asked more heavy hitting questions they dance around a direct answer. You never get straight forward responses. There’s no such thing as an HR department there. Good luck getting help for medical situations. They are very hush hush about your sick/vacation/and personal time that you can use. There’s no way to look it up. It is always just a guessing game. They gaslight you into thinking they are like a family and they take care of family. Don’t drink the Kool-aid. The healthy workplaces are all about work life balance and keeping the 2 separated. The president of the company can flaunt his jordans and jean at manager meetings but expects his floor managers to wear polished leather shoes and business casual attire, (no jeans, cargo pants, leggings) . The hypocrisy really shows what the leadership team things of their managers at the store level. I also loved the diversity push. If you have to focus on diversity you know there’s a HUGE problem within the organization.
