Working at Journeys Shoes in Manchester, CT: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Manchester, CT Area

"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."
