Payless ShoeSource reviews

The pay isn't enough to live on your own or have much extra money, but it isn't less than any other retail position. It is very repetative work and can get somewhat boring. They get kind of into the customer service in a cheesy way. I really like working retail and am someone who is always friendly and it even got to be a little much for me. Sometimes they expect you to really push the shoes on people, in a annoying sales person kind of way. One problem with that is they have one person ringing up and one on the floor for example and the one ringing up isn't supposed to go out onto the floor. Well then at the end of each month the look at how much you sold to customers. If the person on the floor is the one making the sales pitch the cashier is getting the credit. If your sales are low you get a "little talk" no reprimand or anything just a "we really need to get sales up, lets try to work on that" It isn't really fair when you aren't the one getting credit for the people you just spent an hour with helping try on shoes.

If you don't speak Spanish, don't even bother, as almost all of the clientele don't speak English and are most likely illegal given the high number that pay with $100 bills. Also, don't expect a full time position if you ever apply, or good coworkers.
