Pros

Discount on mostly everything. That’s it.

Cons

One of the worst places I’ve ever worked. They are way too focused on metrics and care more about them then they do their employees. When you apply for a FULL TIME POSITION, don’t expect full time. They will start giving you 30+ hours for the first couple weeks and then drop them to barely anything and expect you to stick around. They will also tell you they are going to promote you to a higher position and never do. The managers/CSS people and rude and disrespectful for no reason. Overall I wouldn’t waste your time even shopping here let alone working here.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
