Vantaggi
A 40% discount is really awesome. Almost all of my coworkers were really cool and fun to be with. My manager was also very sweet. However, the only thing I do not regret about working at Shi is that I met my fiance through the company.
Svantaggi
The pay is insulting. You are payed $6/hr plus 4% commission. The management plays favorites with hours, but in a bizarre way. I worked there when I was a high school student, and I was given 30-35 hours a week, while other employees who did not go to school and had this as their primary job would be scheduled maybe 20 hours a week. They expect you to make ridiculous sales goals, and your percentages can easily be thrown off if you sell more shoes than handbags or accessories. If you fail to meet your goal twice, you will be written up, if you fail to meet it once more you will be terminated. The managers also get payed on commission, which means that they compete with their employees and steal sales from them in order to make as much money as possible without thinking of their staff. You are required to hassle customers and pressure them into sales. Do NOT work at Shi or Journeys if you want to get payed decently and feel respected by the company and management
