Pros

25% off clothes and shoes, 10% off other items that are applicable

Cons

All of the "training" was done online. The HR lady had me hit "task complete" for hands-on activities I was supposed to do to help learn the store and my responsibilities. Every associate in the store is also trained on a register as a cashier incase they need back up. Even though I was assured I would be SHADOWING on my first day in my department on a busy Sunday, I was left alone 20 minutes after entering the store. I was not taught basic things that I needed to know such as what keys i needed to get before my shift, where to get a hand held walkie, when my break was (I ended up missing mine), and how to even enter the store since my shift started when the store was opening. When I walked in, there was a meeting going on I had no knowledge about and was looked down upon for not being at. Very much pressure from store managers to sell sell sell to the customers. The amount of hours you will receive is based on your performance with getting customers to fill out surveys and sign up for credit cards. Do not apply 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.
