Naturalizer Employer Reviews

you have to be very patient in sales.be able to work both on your own and as part of a team.be able to work under pressure nd multi tasking.

Its a strict retail based job where i need to people as well as maintain the store budget in order to satisfy dailly sales goal

Sold shoes under partial commision, had a great staff, monthly/daily/weekly goals. Stock room, and customer assistance

Unfortunately this company decided to close the retail stores of the company, so we were left without a job. When the store was open, it had flexible hours, great management (including DM), and great bonus and incentives.

A typical day at work would be opening the store, receiving stock, tidying the shelves, and above all; customer service. Naturalizer is very sales driven, which I always love in retail because it keeps everyone motivated.

I learned a lot about different types of footwear; mainly what is good for your feet and what is bad. I learned different sales – more... skills than I'd had before, because I'd never worked with a customer base that was older than roughly 25, but it taught me a lot. And I love their products now.

The management there was great for the most part. I can say that they need to relieve some of the stress on their managers because I worked in 3 different stores with 2 different managers and stress was thick in the air sometimes. And I worked there for the better part of 2 years and was just taken off the schedule without any real reason. I had called in sick previously for a single shift (I swear it's not an under-exaggeration) and I had a doctors note from being in the hospital for dehydration after I had had the flu. So I guess that's the main reason I wouldn't work there again, no job security.

Co-workers were great. Never really had anyone I didn't get along with, loved the staff.

Hardest part of the job is doing the running for shoes. The back rooms are usually small and highly stacked, so you're climbing ladders all day. But it keeps you fit!

Best part of the job was the customers. I loved helping them because I feel that the middle aged customer base is much more appreciative of good customer service than the younger generation. I had fun helping them and I miss it a lot. – less

with great management there. it was a seasonal before i started school.

I enjoyed my time at Naturalizer. I enjoyed the environment of being with a well rounded staff and being able to exceed the expectations of the store and the company. I also enjoyed the flexibility of my work hours and the daily tasks that I took on later on in my position.

A typical day would be:
- Stock maintaining
- Customer Service
- Training of – more... employees
- One on one interaction with customers – less

This company is very understanding an you will be recognized for the efforts you put or don't put. I was lucky enough to have a great staff that worked together and very understanding, The company itself is very understanding as well. The hardest part of the job would be dealing with the different types of customers however we had a clear policy and – more... corporate would almost always back up the store. My only complaint would be the benefits. They were very expensive and did not offer much. – less

Co-workers are really what made the work experience incredible.

its a slow pace company not much to work with than to wait for customers to walk-in

A typical day at work includes updating sales forecast, managing inventory, employee scheduling and providing exceptional customer service.

Hardest part of the job was the inconsistent schedule. Most enjoyable part of the job was making our customers happy.

In this position, I got to see the management side of retail. Making monthly goals was done with team work and good time managment.
I learned to manage my time well and manage others.

Manager could never make schedule at decent time frame. Gave me short shifts. Manager was rude (hung phone up on me), wasn't kind when trying to openly talk to. Wan't only rude to me but also customers because I had customers tell me they were going to complain to corporate about this manager. Management didn't communicate well with associates like – more... giving us heads up on new rules. – less

A typical day would be enjoying the customers and there why's for shopping with us.We had a four pair presentation requirement for every customer in case they didn't see themselves in a different type of shoe. We also had daily, monthly goals. If they were fulfilled we had party's or extra incentives.

I did not enjoy working with the elderely crowd, so therefore, I did not really enjoy the job. However my coworkers were awesome!

Not to bad of a place to work for,you can deffinetly make a great career if you want to wait a while and like to travel

Handling customers at a close range by asking what they are looking for today and working one on one with them. Doing cash deposits at night and writing out emails to our district manager.

A typical day consist heavily on customer service which is nice. I enjoyed that part of the job. The manager at the store I worked at was horrendous. Her attitude and demeanor towards her assistants and certain employees was not exemplary of any store manager. She would threaten us and throw temper tantrums if things didn't go her way, if the team put – more... out shoes that she didn't get to see first, or if she just was in a bad mood. She played favorites with one or two associates and treated a sales associate like an assistant manager. I wouldnt recommend anyone work at the store I worked at. – less

Enjoyed working there. Great company to work for, and great people that work in the stores.
