Payless ShoeSource Employee Review

manager

Store Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 March 2019

It was an alright company to work for before the new owner took over. The costumers are one of the worse customers I have ever seen, and the company is going bankrupt.

Can be stressful, but overall fun

Store Leader (Former Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 17 July 2022

I worked at Payless ShoeSource for nearly 2 decades. I found they treated their employees quite well if their work performance warranted it. It was a lot of work with large shipments, changing promotions every couple weeks (tagging many boxes of shoes individually), and balancing customers with maintaining the store. Even though some days were a challenge, it is still my favourite job I've ever had. I miss the people I had the opportunity to work with.

Stressful

Multi store manager (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 13 February 2020

overall it's a stressful environment, often understaffed to offset the busiest times of the day, You can't schedule employees for a 3 hour or split shift every day. You have to be on your toes and often the workload is extreme.

Was a great place to gain retail experience

Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 5 August 2022

Payless was a great starter company for anyone looking to break into the retail industry. The pay was minimum wage and the hours were somewhat flexible. Management varied by location.
