SHOE CARNIVAL Employer Reviews

A typical day consists of costumer service, opening and closing duties, cash runs, etc...

I worked as a sales representitve. I managed sales, cordinated fun activies through out the da to ment stock number requirements.

My experience with Shoe Carnival was not a positive one.
I was hired as a part of a team of 25 to open a new store, with a tad over minimum wage as the compensation. To this day I still am not sure who was in charge at that store because there were three people who seemed to juggle being the leader. There was pretty much no training for any of the associates – more... I worked with. We spent two weeks doing hard labor, unloading semi-trailers of about 1,000 boxes each truck, about 40 to 60 lbs. a box. The pay was not worth the work we did, considering these were 10 to 12 hour shifts. After the store was set up, it was apparent the managers had picked favorites, and the rest of the group was given the dirty work. After the grand opening about five of us were let go unceremoniously. We were not given a letter, or a call, or any notification that we were no longer employed, we were simply never scheduled again. I had to call several (7 or 8) times to find out I was let go.
It was not a very good experience in closing. – less

This job was great for my very first job in high school. This posiiton suits people who are great at sales and enjoy fast paced retail

There is always work to be done. Constantly learning new ways to improve my work experince. Co-workers work as a team to get the task of the da done. Mangement always offer helpful suggestions on work ethics. No hard part of the job if your productive throughout the day. Enjoyed working as a team to improve the store.

I enjoyed my time. And great people............................................

A typical day at Shoe Carnival is doing paper work, I also have to make sure all rules of saftey are being followed. I work very close with the management to ensure the store is safe, I make sure all the co-worker are up to date on all new postings that have to do with policies and procedures. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the different – more... personalities of the customers. I enjoyed the job it was a fun place to work. – less

This is a great place to work. You are expected to perform excellent customer service and that might not effect the amount of hours you work. Be careful the company focuses on the bottom line. They will cut employees pay as quickly as needed with no notice to employees. The company officers some employee benefits but the benefits are not that great. – more... I loved being able to interact with the customers and goof around at work- after all it is shoe CARNIVAL. A typical day includes setting up the store in the morning, working with the merchandise, customer service, and helping out with additional work. The night crew is responsible for cleaning and resetting the store after hours. – less

Fun Work Place. Management are flexible and nice. Selling shoes greeting customers and talking to customers

Easy Job, Nice Co-workers, Decent Management, Out-Dated Company.

A typical day at work for me is very steady im always on top of things (doing my job).

My managers are very nice and very helpful.

My co-workers are very friendly i enjoy working with them.

I have learned alot in the ladies department i've been chosing to be the ladies lead in the store.

The most enjoyable part of the job is when you are recognized – more... for your hard work and you are rewarded for it, for example i've been chosing employee of the month for two months straight so that makes me feel pretty good. – less

This store is full of different people than I worked with. It could be much more different now.

Conducts surveillance and blend in well with other shoppers. Observence of customers and contractors in the store and look for any activities or behavior that may be associated with theft, fraud, or impending violence. The hardest part of the job included the unloading of the merchandise truck. The most enjoyable part of the job would be some of the – more... friendships I developed. I learned that some jobs are stepping stones for something better. – less

The most enjoyable part of the job is the customers. Shoe Carnival provides a different shopping experience that provides a detailed visit to find shoes. We involve our customers in every process from when they walk into the door to the second they step out of the door.

I worked here for a summer job and it was okay. nothing special. fun environment when active but boring as hell when the stores empty. A lot of my time was spent helping customers and when your not busy you make sure your area is kept tidy.

Throughout your shift, you were assigned a specific number of isles. Depending on the day, you would have different tasks. On Wednesdays, we would get a new shipment of shoes in so we would have to make room for every new pair which meant you had to rearrange pretty much every isle. When you aren't doing that, you need to be servicing customers, and – more... making sure that all of the shoes are where they belong. – less

Every day was a learning opportunity, it was so great to work close with the different customers.

This was one of the best jobs I have ever had. We had a great group of employees at the time I worked there. Management was fair. The District Manager at the time was very nice. I learned and researched all I could about shoes and was able to sale shoes effectively. I really miss this workplace.

A typical day involved assisting customers with purchases. I learned better communication and time management skills. The management seemed favorable towards other members of upper management but they were friendly people. The hardest part of my job was balancing several customers at the same time. My favorite part of the job was the variety of people – more... that came in the store. – less
