Pros

Nothing good about this company

Cons

This computer system are so outdated it’s crazy. My store is using short buns that have been recalled they don’t want to replace them. If something breaks in the store you can’t get it fixed. They expect you to get so much done but won’t let managers schedule hours (to keep payroll low) then they get mad cause nothing is done. The pay is just ridiculous for what the company wants you to do. (All the stores in my strip mall starts people out at $12 an hour) Dress code is unrealistic. You can’t wear dress clothes and crawl around on the floor to shift shoes around. If you are not your DM’s favorite you get treated like crap by the DM. My store doesn’t have an actual break room. I had to supply a fridge and microwave for my staff. There is no private place to enter new employees info. You are at the main computer so customers walking by can see the employees personal information. I’m already thinking about looking for another job and I’ve only been with the company 6 months. I have tried to talk to my DM about my key holders not doing their jobs and I got asked if I was trying to find dirt on them. If you are married and have kids I would stay away. They expect you to put this polar before your kids.This company is just not worth it.

Pros

You get paid every two weeks.

Cons

Still using DOS computer system, dot matrix printers & green bar paper. If you want to take blast to the past, this is the place for you! Too many manual processes for the size of the company. This is the first company I have ever worked for that has you read the employee hand book and takes it back, you don't get a copy! Horrible benefits. Low pay.

Pros

The atmosphere of management is friendly and you can learn some tips on selling and organizing... For when you quit and get a new job. Also can progress quickly into a new position.

Cons

Corporate is just plain dumb. They transfer shoes that your selling and give you shoes that you have already had in the store for months to years. Very rarely do new shoes come in. It's just a rotation of the same shoes which is annoying for both you and the customer. Pay is also a problem. You can progress quickly but that doesn't get you anywhere. You just end up doing way more work for a dollar extra. And that dollar extra is from minimum wage. In my case too my manager is lazy and I have to do half of his job just so the store stays open and somewhat clean enough to sell shoes.
