Pros

Discount, although the last selection wasn’t as good as before

Cons

In hindsight, I should have taken previous reviews more seriously, as my experience reflected many of the same concerns. The operational structure is highly disorganized, with minimal training and limited leadership support. Management roles are overloaded with operational responsibilities while relying on outdated systems that create inefficiencies. There appeared to be a culture of pressure from regional leadership, which created a fear-based dynamic at the store level and limited open communication. High expectations paired with micromanagement and little recognition contribute to a stressful environment and high turnover. Product quality issues frequently result in customer complaints.

Pros

Very few besides learning to be agile to fix mistakes due to lack of strategy. If you like the brand or shoes then you can get some free product but if you don’t then not worth coming close to this place.

Cons

So many words to describe the culture and way of working. Toxic, gaslighting, favoritism, delusional, unrealistic, high turnover, inexperienced people, no strategy and constant chasing what other brands are doing. No originality. The brand is a has been and desirable in cities that are slow compared to places like ny or LA
