"I've been a manager for Skechers for awhile now and omg, I have never seen so much sexual harassment in my life! I have never seen upper management (district manager and regional manager) be so inappropriate and so judgmental on the physical appearance of employees. They call it Skechers appropriate but that really means they only want you to hire skinny beautiful large breasted women. The tall red headed manager loves to brag about how he cheats on his wife with the Arizona district manager."

"Lack of trust, respect, real professionalism, accountability and business ethics at Senior VP and mid-management level. Blame game - finger pointing dominates when things go wrong / mistakes made.

"Clearly define mission statement driven goals and objectives at all levels and instill accountability of those from Robert on down and across.

Have more detailed surveys and have Senior management actually read the results."
