      What are perks and other benefits like at DSW?

      DSW reviews

      Great place with great people

      Store manager
      Former employee
      Aurora, CO
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great district leadership, willingness to listen to employees, management pay and benefits,

      Cons

      Staffing and entry level pay

      First Job (looking elsewhere at the 4 month mark)

      Sales associate
      Current employee
      Davie, FL
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My coworkers are great and the job is fairly easy once you get used to it. A couple managers are amazing and really will become your rock when dealing with difficulties. You control your availability since managers don't have access to it (they can still decline it unfortunately). Good for a first job but only for 6 months so look for another job at the 4 month mark.

      Cons

      May has longer hours for no reason. Managers in higher positions suck and don't want to be out on the floor. They claim to care about your scheduling but they don't. They have a habit of trying to get you to come in the same day when a shift has to be covered. The pay is abysmal and you get no real benefits. Also, new manager came in when I was hired and started trying to change everything which made it hard to do my job. She's also trying to weed out a bunch of people even though we are understaffed no wonder the other store she was at shut down.

      Pros

      Good pay, great benefits, good work/life balance, low stress work culture

      Cons

      Low room for promotion (due to good employee retention), absenteeism policy is very strict they do not accept any Dr notes or reasons for being absent. Also the absent points you earn will NEVER be removed. 8 points you're fired (1 point per absense) over the expanse of your time there. Managers do not get 15 min breaks only 30min meal breaks. Store Managers are salary meaning they do not have to be at work to be considered at work. But the ASM and below Managers have to put in 40 hours a week.
