Payless ShoeSource Employee Review

Stand alone store great hours but lots of down time

ASSISTANT STORE LEADER (Former Employee) - Spruce Grove, AB - 5 July 2018

Good place overall to work. Lots of down time due to being a stand alone store. Worked alone quite a bit. I found that I was cleaning a lot just to keep busy. Also found the shoes didn't change over much from season to season so hard to see last seasons styles.

Pros

lots of down time

Cons

flexible schedule

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.
