Pros

40% Discount, my manager is the best, i love my co workers, i meet some cool customers, you work at the mall so you get alot of benefits and almost everyone knows everyone . you can wear anything you want pretty much.

Cons

Hours suck (therefore pay is not good). When we have only 1 manager and 1 co-manager, the part timers get some pretty good hours but when they hire another co-manager.....its BYE-BYE hours for the part timers. They are very crucial on selling accesories and especially SOCKS. they are very hard on socks! its frustrating because not all customers want socks...especially during summer when its flip flop and sandal season. Also, everyone has their OWN goal. Each person has to make a certain amount, unlike other retail stores when everyone has to work Together to make ONE store goal. if you dont make your goal, your job is on the line. If you want a job with money and hours, Journeys is NOT the place. please apply somewhere else.

Pros

- Diversity & inclusion throughout employees - No dress code (other than inappropriate clothing obviously and occasional Journeys t-shirts during holidays) - Paid training - Flexible schedule (at least at my store)

Cons

- Horrible corporate mentality - Only the sales leads and above work on commission even though every employee has to HARD sell - Sales goals that are unrealistic and based off of the previous year's numbers - Little to no benefit for reaching or surpassing the ridiculous sales goals - District managers and corporate employees who say you're not good at your job unless you practically beg customers to buy socks and multiple pairs of shoes even if they came in knowing exactly what they want (to the point of annoying the customer) - Verbal, then write up, then immediate termination if you don't meet or surpass EVERY single category in your MPR (monthly progress report) - District managers who demote the best managers and transfer people to other stores with no say in the matter, as well as letting certain bad managers get away with things without reporting it - lowwwww pay for what is expected of the employee
