I worked at Converse part-time
Pros
Employee discount is good since it can also be used at Nike and Hurley. The associates you work with are all awesome and make the environment tolerable.
Cons
Management doesn't know what they're doing. They don't know the difference between being an actual leader and making demands. There's no growth within the store. They hire people outside the company who know less of what they're doing than the leaders already in charge. Management team try too hard on being secretive instead of allowing their associates to know what is going on/expected of them. You're not allowed to be friends with your co-workers for whatever reason and they'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Advice to Management
The store will strive if the environment was better. You can be decent people and enjoy your time while working. Work as a team instead of always blaming others. Actually help out on the floor instead of standing around and talking to each other.

If you white it’s all great!
If you’re of an ethnic background, mainly black, not so much.
No equal pay.
No performance based promotions. European boys clubAdvice to Management
Get people who understand black culture into roles that affect decisions. If not go back to punk and rock.
