Fast paced and exciting place to work
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Ontario, CA –
Pros: flexible schedule
Cons: no real chance for promotion
I've worked at DSW for a couple of years and I love the way managers are always willing to work with employees schedules. Most of the employees are college students so flexible hours are wanted and usually given.

A cool retail job
Sales Assosicate (Current Employee), Albany, NY –
Pros: 30% discount on shoes
Cons: 30 minute lunch breaks
The job is pretty much laid back. You greet customers most of the time and assist them if they need assistance. The store is self-serve so a lot of the time the customer can find their own shoes, they just want your opinion.

Great team environment
Clearance Department Supervisor (Current Employee), Cheektowaga, NY –
I am charged with ensuring that the clearance department is always ready to sell lots of shoes! We currently have quite a few new associates, so I am responsible for training them in operations in that part of the store. The most difficult part of my job is the disconnect between upper management outside of the store and those of us who are on the front – more...  lines. However, the associates in the store are upbeat and we all appreciate teamwork. – less

Shoe Retailer
DISTRICT MANAGER (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: great products
Cons: poor management
A shoe retailer who is trying to be someone that they are not. They seem to think that most of their customers are there purely because of the love of shoes. they miss the point that the majority of their customers are looking for great shoes but they want them at a great price, and the customer service is not the priority.
