Pros

Good place to start your career if you have little to no experience Many of their practices, procedures, and behaviors taught me exactly what NOT to deal with from an employer.

Cons

Office politics were ridiculous . Favoritism was extremely obvious and the people were very childish and petty within the department. Only management were recognized for any achievements - much of which came from the lower level workers. If you desired to move up within the company and you wanted to leave the department, if management didn't like you, they would prevent it from happening. Support groups were often overlooked. As an employee, you would have an entirely different experience if you worked for one of the brands. Pay was absolutely horrible. For the amount of work that you do versus what competitors pay for the same job and what they offer is insulting.

Pros

Great People although fewer and fewer as the best are moving on to more employee friendly companies.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch with the troops. It is all about the stock price. Company is agressivly trying to go direct to consumer. Killing its roots of building the brand through retail interaction with the end consumer. Moral is LOW.

Pros

Free shoes, shoe sales and discounts. To some extent, team members at ground level are good and are willing to adapt, work together.

Cons

Culture within the organization is very demotivating, depressive and overall pathetic. It starts from C level and all the way down. "C" grade leadership compared to good organizations. Management is highly manipulative and value for people is 0. Mid level IT management (directors and team leads) are passionate for their growth, bonus. They rely on technically strong team members and take credit for success. People are managed in a very short vision, day to day or task oriented than looking for long term engagement. You can expect all kinds of things that can happen in bad organizations - back stabbing, frequent abuse, bullying, inhuman. People are offered leadership positions who are just passionate for personal gains and thorough due-diligence is missing to verify true leadership skills which is unfortunate. Poor leaders select next set of poor leaders and that's been the saga all through. Overall, because of poor leadership/fake leaders, it is perfect brewery for anyone who is a critic of everything that happens around, politics, back stab, manipulative, abusive. Leadership is not authentic, it is more fake or manipulative most of the time. It is unfortunate that leadership across the organization doesn't know what true leadership means ;-)
