District managers should be more in tune with whats going on with the stores, and they should pay their employees better. They might see better results.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire management that are concerned with the company as a whole. Don't overstress selling products that customers do not need

Pros

Discount, pretty coworkers, and gaining better people skills.

Cons

Impossible sales goals, constantly being talked down to, having to do too many tasks while head manager just does nothing but complain all day. At first I tried to take this job seriously, but after a while it just becomes a joke. You never have shoes people want to buy and if you do their size is never in stock. I remember days when my head manager would complain about me not selling enough stuff, but would put me on the cash register while he went on the floor to sell things and he doesn't work off commission. When another employee would ask my head manager how to do something on the computer he would just tell me to show them while he just glared out the door.

Advice to Senior Management

Come up with realistic goals. Actually have peoples shoe size. Stop expecting employees to have conversations with customers. Some customers just want to look without being talked to and I respect that and you should too.
