Store Manager at Journeys Shoes
in Manchester, CT

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Working at Journeys is like being in an abusive relationship"

What do you like about working at Journeys Shoes?

"Laid back dress code, great discount, a fun environment is encouraged by the company"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Run away. If you are covered in tattoos and have no life responsibilities, then this is the place to go to be overworked and taken advantage of. Otherwise, you will make more $ at McDonald's."

What don't you like about working at Journeys Shoes?

"No work/life balance. Company runs stores on a skeleton crew forcing managers to work 6 day/50+ hour weeks. If you aren't in a higher volume store, you will make less an hour than the guy making your lunch in the food court. The pay scale seems designed to take advantage of twenty somethings with tattoos. Not possible to support a family after 100+ hours at work in a pay period."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Revise your pay structure. Allow for more than two key holders per store to allow mgt a better work/life balance. Increase payroll so managers do not have to work long shifts without the ability to eat, sit down for break or even use the bathroom."

"Plan and simple. A very dishonest company."

What do you like about working at Appliance Factory Outlet?

"I enjoy working with the customer and the sales staff in the store"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Look for a different company to work for. Once you do a google search you will see what I am talking about"

What don't you like about working at Appliance Factory Outlet?

"The dishonesty. Upper management hires most people. We have a high turn over rate due to the fact that upper management is dishonest about the pay, family life, and as most reading reading that have already found out from reading reviews on the company we sale what is called an out of box appliance. Most of these appliances are used and we are made to sale them as new. Causes a lot of problems. I would highly recommend a very indepth google search on the company before you waste your time putting in a app with the company"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Change COO and start being honest with customer and employees,"

"I like developing and leading a team. I love serving the customers and the regular contact and feedback I get from them."

"Understand that you are joining a company that pays significantly less than much of the industry and that the turnover is high. This should tell the astute all they need to know."

What don't you like about working at Little Caesars Pizza?

"The hours are irregular and for managers very long. As I am in a salaried position, I am the fill in most of the time when someone calls off or we are slow and need to cut labor. My supervisor tends to micromanage too."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Spend some time in the stores before you come in and criticize the operation. Also, understand that when the manager has to oversee the day to day operations, they do not have the time for repair and other troubleshooting of equipment which continues to malfunction. Show your managers that you are behind them."
