Payless ShoeSource reviews

Terrible pay, terrible raises, no recognition for a job well done, absolutely too much tagging,and de-tagging the same shoes over and over and over and over and over again in one week. Too much inventory in the stores and no place to put it and yet you are at fault for not having them on your racks. Takes a long time to advance on hard work alone but if you kiss the right buttocks you can move up faster. Green and red check marks and smiley faces and clickers oh my. The coaching is ridiculous and out of hand. I feel like a kindergartner. And most managers do not do it because guess what, there is too much other stuff to do. They want a lot out of you while you are there and they give you low pay and no recognition for doing as best you can.

Pay is not great, and neither are raises. I feel very discouraged after speaking to my district leader and hearing things from upper management. We really only ever hear when we do things incorrectly, and rarely get praise for the things we have done right. They may tell us to get rewards to a 35, and we do, and then they say well that's good but your UPT's were below a 2.00. There's never a simple Great job! for something that we have worked really hard for. They put A LOT of pressure on us for things that are ultimately out of our control. Going back to the rewards, beyond asking someone if they would like to sign up and relaying the benefits of doing so, whether they want to sign up or not is out of our hands, but the upper management wants us to brow beat customers into it. It makes me very uncomfortable. I also had a customer complain to me that our DM was being too pushy with her when she came up to the register to pay (he was on the floor trying to demonstrate to us - on her - how to suggestive sell). She was obviously annoyed and I didn't know what to tell her.
