CONVERSE Employer Reviews

fun working environment. it was a challenge sellin the shoes but it was fun for me

I've never dealt with such horrible management in a workplace. There's not much else that I can say about the store besides that. It was hard to enjoy the job when dealing with unprofessional and immature store management. The co-workers were GREAT! I never had a issue with a co-worker because we all dealt with the same horrible issues from the store – more... manager. Nothing was ever fixed within the store after contacting headquarters. It's not worth leaving your job for. – less

Work is often slow, not busy unless its the weekend. There are random days where this a a lot of customers in the store daily. I leaned more about shoes by working here.The management here is good. There are some managers that aren't on top of things the way they should be, but others are very cool.All of my co-workers are very nice, friendly and we – more... all get along. All of us are around the same age as well. I would say the hardest part of the job isn't really left up to the employes. Our task aren't impossible nor difficult. The difficult task are more for the managers.The most enjoyable part of the job is when we do an activity for the guest for them to buy more shies and we do things to their shoes for them. – less

Best job I've had so far. All employees were kind as well as hard working and valued customer service. Managers made sure that employees had thorough store knowledge and background info on the company.

The workplace is the same as Nike. There is fun all around and the workplace doesn't even seem like a workplace.

The company is letting other companies scoop up young talent because their lack of advancement opportunities. This must change!

Converse is an okay place to work, the dress code is laid back as long as you wear their brand. There aren't really many hours though just based on that it is a small store.

working at converse was a new experience because i am used to clothing retail but selling footwear and clothing was a little bit different from what i am used to, but besides that everyone is friendly and good to work with ..i havnt had any problems there ,the only hard part was learning how they stack their shoe boxes

Converse is a great company to work for (Nike). I opened the Jeffersonville, Ohio store in mid-November.

Typical day is to clock in and then go get a run down of any changes the store has undergone while you weren't working. Then get your assignment and section you'll work in for your shift. Converse has to be one of the best retail jobs I've worked in so far. The management team is understanding and will help the team with anything. They make sure that – more... everyone feels like they fit in with the team and that we all do work as a team. This place is such a comfortable place to work and the customers that come through aren't that bad either. – less

Retail, alot of customers come in and expect you to tell them what to get. On occassion the customers are friendly and patient, but for the most part the customers are rude and impatient.

very enjoyable atmosphere for anyone looking for part time work

Converse is a company that looks for age 16-18. Management needs more training. Hardest part of job was no respect for employee. Enjoyable part was the customers and the day to day experience in retail atmosphere.

The company is very young, in that it is finishing merging with NIKE from 2002. Many policies are still being adopted and changed around to adhere to Nike company policy. In and of itself, that is frustrating and disheartening to employees, when things are changing every hour. While I am one that embraces change entirely, upper management doesn't quite – more... see the big change in a store level, and is harsh and critical around all aspects of business. – less

Being the first of many management jobs, this experience taught Me alot of what it is to be an effective leader. To truly lead a team and store to go beyond company expectations. Having a staff that enjoys their jobs to work for You while working hard enough to respect You. Using effective communication as a pivotal ingredient to improvement.

A typical day work is up and down as far as busy other than that the environment is great....

What I learned is that being at that company you have a lot of diversity there from all over. Some of them have different styles and wants so its important to make sure you hit that spot. I also learned skills in management which could help me grow in the – more... company to be a Manager or Supervisor.

Management is really different there. As far communication, because since you would have one manager say one thing for you to do and the others may disagree and ask you to do another. Which I dislike about them. Everyone should come to one agreement to make the work place equal.

My co-worker they are hard workers. They work together to make sure we reach goal receive are monthly pay raise...

The hardest part of the job is trying to reach are goals set for the day, because you really cant make goal if its a really slow day so you have to try harder to reach goal.

The most enjoyable part of the job is that if we exceed are goal we get a BIG bonus check. Other than that you learn about different cultures and how long converse been around which is really cool. – less

Good place to work. Management was professional and diverse.

Their ads sum up what the business is like, pure fun. It's a lot of hardworking people having fun with their work. Great atmosphere!

This company likes young and pretty people, If you don't meet those two requirements then don't apply. Corporate does not care or want to hear what the actual field employees have to say. Yearly reviews are a joke and a cover to penny pinch your "raise" to help save the company some $$. If you plan on going no where, this is the perfect place for you.

Fue mi primer experiencia laboral y me sentí muy comoda, aprendi mucho.
