"NEVER WORK FOR PAYLESS! I stuck it out for two years purely because I'm in a small town with no jobs. In a little over 2 years I went through SIX managers! And several periods where there weren't any managers. They are unorganized and DO NOT CARE about employees. I worked as part time and always worked holidays and with no compensation like getting paid extra for it. This company doesn't value its employees and is ignorant. They want us to be pushy towards the customer. And they're raising prices."

What don't you like about working at Payless ShoeSource?
"Was ok in the beginning. After 3mos into working there I began to see that there was nothing but favortism that managers had for certain employees. People took advantage of their authority, delegating jobs that they didnt want to do themselves. Payless doesnt protect their emoyees from wrongful customers because they feel like they are always right. One complaint and you can kiss your job goodbye depending on who you are and if your manager in fact takes a liking to you enough to protect you. Payless is a worthless job who doesnt genuinely care about the people who work for them. for them"
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Stop playing favortism and treat everyone equally!! Protect your employees and treat them with respect!"
