Absolutely awful.

Pros

You get to see a lot of how the shoe business works. Many staff around you will know why there are certain brands in the store versus others, and you also get a lot of experience with the boxes (packing up, shipping, unpacking, and putting away). Hope you're not afraid of heights because you'll definitely be climbing on ladders to get shoes down. There are definitely days where you'll get a work out.

Cons

Management is so disorganized. There are all these rules and then you find out that no one follows them. Stores are often outdated in look and furniture is tattered and torn (usually stained). Requests passed along from customers are ignored. Professionalism is very low. For the kinds of shoes they sell, you would expect a better all around experience. You also must deal with some of the crankiest customers, usually middle aged women who's feet hurt and don't want to pay the prices of the shoes in the store (and often times stinky feet - yes you have to touch them).

Pros

- It's better than being unemployed. - It's a slower environment as there are shoes that cost in the upper $400 so not for everybody. (can be a con too) - Stores are usually located in good neighborhoods.

Cons

- I haven't heard of anybody making commissions besides the Vice President. - They let you know upfront that it's an "at-will" employment. You can quit at any time without reason and they can fire you anytime without ever having to give you any reason. You feel nervous and anxious as far as job security goes. - I worked at the store in Gaithersburg, MD and that summer the AC was down and we were forced to work in 100's degrees temperature for weeks. At times they agreed we close the store but that also meant "no pay" for us. It took an employee's letter to OSHA to get them to move faster to fix it. - Lets go of employees regularly to avoid having to pay for unemployment. - Too anal about everything, yet the pay is very low, even for management. - You are forbidden to tell/ask about your colleagues' salary. But my manager told me anyway and he barely made $14 an hour as a store manager and that is salary, not hourly. - Overall, this company is for desperate people who need something temporarily, going through a hurdle.
