Pros

Great work atmosphere. You show up in shorts, tees, and some chucks! Very laid back environment with great selection of product available to choose. The Converse name sells itself. A store in a major metropolitan area can run on auto pilot with lack of floor coverage because of the prestige of the brand.

Cons

Allocation and productions is embarassing. They would push a certain Initiative for the month but yet only have inventory for that item for 2 weeks the max and not recieve any until the initiative is over.We would not have the converse classic white from sizes 3.5-6.5 for 2 months in the store but I would walk along and the competition would have because they buy wholesale. Really guys???!!!!

Pros

Opportunities for growth and great benefits.

Cons

Management is so incredibly catty. There's drama every month, not just between associates, but mostly with management and leadership. The store manager is also good friends with the district manager so if you had any HR violations with her it wouldn't be taken seriously and they would just laugh about it in their video calls. So many HR violations have been made here its not even funny. I recommend the company as well as Nike who owns them but do yourself a favor and stay away from the Philadelphia Premium Outlets location.
