Pros

Ample opportunity to grow within. Incredible new facility soon to be finished. Great benefits & perks of being a leader in the footwear industry

Cons

Not well paying, as is the case with many jobs in a retail company. Account services department has a lot of turnover, especially at management, have re-org'ed the department 3 times in past two years. Due to employee focused nature, applying from within is very competitive
