Journeys Employer Reviews

It was short lived experience at Journeys. For being a small company you spend most of your time working alone. Daily tasks were the same from day to day.

Journeys closed down and wanted to send me to a store an hour and 15 mins away from my house. The store gets no business and they make us sell 2 pairs of shoes on top of one transaction. Who really buys two pairs of shoes in todays economy being that expansive.

-typical day sales and schedules

-learned how to create schedules,drive sales, hiring
-the hardest part of job is different personalities when trying to sale to customer
-most enjoyable part of job was sales

Well I work 9 hours a day, 6 days a week. I have learned how to convince people that they should get what they want. I have good managers. And I don't like working with teenagers. (They don't think as maturely as adults do.) The hardest part of the job is the balance of my family and work. I LOVE making people smile and having a good day.

This has been my shortest term of employment I've ever had! These people promoted me from an Assistant to a Store Manager in 2 weeks, which was very exciting, but they never filled the Assistant opening that it generated. I had to open and close the store every day of the week. I had no life, literally. And to make things worse, the pay was horrendous! – more...  I made about minimum wage for the manager position. Obviously I never received overtime, as I was salary. Upper management for this company is appalling. I am an extremely hard worker, but all this company does is take advantage of those who are. I barely heard from my district manager and when I did, he acted as though he was too busy to deal with me! The only thing I liked about this job was the ability to learn the ropes of a Store Manager, I just hate that I was thrown into it. – less

A typical day volunteering was meeting new people, traveling new places and experiencing new cultures. I helped different people ,brought joy into there life. I had great fun with working with my other volunteers, two of them were classmates from school. What I learned from the job is people in different parts of the world people have different expectations, – more...  and culture norms. The Hardest part of the job was saying goodbye, as I did not want to go I was having so much fun and making people smile giving them gifts and making there day more enjoyable. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and experiencing new things. – less

It was an unhealthy working enviornment. Worked 12hour shifts with no breaks.

Journey's was a fun, young, and slow paced work place. There was always new products coming in. The management was okay, I was poorly trained and had to learn most by myself. The best part of my day was being able to interact with the customers.

Although I had a great manager, the assistant manager was very difficult to work with and never had a good attitude. She didnt take her job very serious and was always annoyed by new hires asking questions.

I loved working for this company. Very close nit company. Very fun energetic atmosphere.

I worked 70-80 hours a week every week for what worked out to be just pennies above minimum wage without overtime. The company culture isn't bad, but you will live in your store and the pay is nowhere near worth it.

The customer is always right. Several different types of shoes, etc. Very fun, friendly, and exciting work environment.

I never had any hours at this job. Mostly white people worked in this environment. I was the only afrcian american and never had any hours. I didnt think they liked me very much at this job. The environment was good though.

Close interaction with the customers. You set your own pace while attending your section of tables. The management team has great communication skills and the employees are team oriented.

good for student high school or college fun great staff great envornment and good to shop at too

It's what you make of it. I valued the fun atmosphere, but the work-life balance is poor if you're a manager

I was a co-manager of Journeys shoe store and I absolutely love it. But there was one problem, when first hired I was offered the co-manager position but soon to learn I wasn't actually. Then when i finally got th position I was laid off because the store was failing and upper management decided to "clean house".

will get rid of you as soon as they can, very boring at times but also can get very busy if you are looking at a management position good luck having a life look forward to having 60+ hours work weeks and no life other than there

I loved working at journeys but I had to leave when I moved to California

I enjoyed working here. I worked here while I was attending high school and the managers worked well around my schedule. The company had monthly and yearly goals we had to meet, with our team we met those goals. Great place to work.
