      I worked at Zumiez part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Zumiez offers a unique environment where like-minded people can develop and challenge themselves in fresh ways to succeed, learn, educate, and compete - all while having fun.

      Cons

      Not much can come to mind x

      Advice to Management

      Continue to shape the young generation by creating a fun working environment similar to the one I was honored to be a part of. Skater culture is prominent with Zumiez and many kids around the U.S. who want to become pros have to start somewhere. Opening more doors for more opportunities within the culture would be amazing; especially in cities who need it (Dallas TX, Denver CO, etc)

      Pros

      Great team of people, easy going, good music and enjoyable to make small talk with strangers.

      Cons

      Management tends to be very strict and has 7 steps to selling you must memorize and incorporate on a daily basis. Your person is always in question when you meet DMs and RMs.

      Advice to Management

      Hope you're ready for an endeavor.

      Positive Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Zumiez full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      Such a fun work environment, lots of room for growth, paid in perks, incentive based benefits, excellent at developing people, when you're up you're really really up, I still use some of the Zumiez training models in my current jobs.

      Cons

      Sink or swim mentality, management was very distant unless you were the best/worst in your district, lots of internal theft, too many big changes in short periods of time, very high expectations with low budgets to make the numbers happen

      Advice to Management

      Keep the training and development essential and required all the way down to seasonal sales kids. Give more hours for floor coverage, more training with less hype, more training for sales kids and assistants, better structured company wide expectations. When I was hired, I was required to go through 7 different training packets- make this company wide and required! Most training packets are outdated. Make every... store experience feel similar.
