Overall my experience is positive. Many things on the job can be stressful though
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The managers in my area are awesome! Very supportive and understanding. The district manager is very professional. We don't interact with anyone higher up than that.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The pay is fair, maybe a little low for the work and industry standard but nothing outrageous. There are very limited financial benefits such as stocks and retirement plans.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interview process was simple and straight forward. I was asked about prior experience on my resume and then some scenario based questions. We did a customer role-play scenario and a tour of the store.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Payless is a family store that has been around for a while and will probably continue on. In the past years we've faced some financial trouble but corporate has done a great job of managing that.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We don't have many company meetings for the store but we do have occasional district meetings with all the stores in the area. My co-workers are decent but there can be a high turnover rate (mostly from employees fired over bad judgement calls)
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
This can be a stressful job, especially when we are understaffed which is often. There is a lot of pressure on the employee staff because there is one manager over the store who is often at meetings or other stores and the responsibility to run the store falls on associates
