Pros

personal time vacation time sick time medical benefits

Cons

Payless Shoe Source is overwhelming their associate, and managers with way too many ideas for increasing sales!!! Conversion, upt's, dpt's, "The Costomer Journey", C-sat scores (what a joke), the upt script, taking the "box" out of the customers hand, the stickers, measuring feet, Labor Scheduling, Rack rep, tagging, audits, paperworkpaperworkpaperwork, and that stupid Smiles Book.......every little box/line must be filled out completely!!! Hey DM's, DOR's, Vice Pres, Pres, Listen Up! I've got an idea........Let's pay our Managers and associate a little bit higher wages and maybe we can get some people who really want to work for Payless! Good quality, responsible people require a little bit more money. But, they require less coachings, follow ups, training, etc. Please, please, please.................if you want us to focus on the customer...CUT OUT ALL THE TASKING! (or, I guess you could give us more payroll......every store should have a shipment processor) The Customer Service Focus is great! Just cool it with trying to make it better! You throwing too much at us way too fast! Associate are so worried about the c-sats, labor scheduling, shipment processing that it's taking time away from the customers.

Pros

Benefits for full times, that's it

Cons

I cant agree more with must of the comments, We the employees at Payless are less than nothing for the company, CSAT !!! please, how you can performe a Customer Service when the payroll just give u enought money to have 1 employee for the entire day(yourself) and beside loads od paperwork, receiving shipment, cleaning the shoes and running the shoes,promo tag rack rep, etc, you also have to run the register , and perform a Smile Captain role that by the way very clear said that the smile captain should not do any other task than taking care of the customer, Who is going to do the rest of the labor?...But we are hold accountables for the store performance and the shrink....Last wek I work 81 hours because of payroll ..is this legal?....uhhh
