Pros

Managers make a little above the national average. You can get a shoe coupon for being productive. You get to help many people in their search for shoes.

Cons

If you love redundancy and blindly following orders just to comply, while getting 3-8 hrs per week, look no further. People with great ideas for improving task efficiency are typically shot down favouring compliance, while the stores are not given enough hours to properly run and then scolded for not completing an unrealistic amount of redundant tasks. If you love companies that over work you and have little to no benefit to offer, Payless is for you! As a manager you are asked to have a large number of part timers, giving each of them 3-4 hours per week, so you constantly deal with turnover and retraining, but are not funded anything over your hours per week to constantly train these new staff. The result is a very frustrating, company to work for who are disconnected with their managers on an emotional level.
