    I enjoy my work life balance.
    The good thingsI love the benefits. especially the 16 days of paid vacation leave and 16 days of sick leave and the significant salary increase.
    The challengesDue to limited manpower, it is difficult to be away for an extended period. Each staff member's presence is essential and store cannot operate without store head

    Working here is an oppurtunity talaga kase makakasundo mo ang mga staff. Kelangan mo lang maging mapanuri sa pagpili ng store head. Because i also roving different branch of payless pero mas gusto ko sa kanila kaysa sa area na nilagay ako. Kaya daming pumapasok na benta sa kanila kase maganda ang leadership ng storehead, while sa amin lage kaming ini stress.di marunong magdala ng staff ang storehead, kaya maraming umaalis ket ilang araw pa lang. dahil sa kanya. Sana bigyan ng chance ng Hr na kausapin ang staff nya regarding sa mga head nila.

    FSRI will HONE you to a lot of things
    The good thingsImmediate manager. Teammates. Work environment. HR department is very friendly but firm which is understandable. Average stress level at work (you don’t take home your work & they respect you when you are on leave). Employee sales. Will help you develop skills needed to become an effective professional.
    The challengesNo trainings provided for head office employees. Market pay salary. Slow career growth (too many positions to go through before getting a high position).

    Interesting and comfortable working at Payless Shoe Source
    The good thingsThe most satisfying and enjoyable part of my job was the harvesting of all the fruits of your labor, the incentives, freebies, the actual enjoyment of being recognized through all the efforts you gave to the company.
    The challengesThere is a lot of activities in my workplace , attending to your customer needs plus keeping align to your company's target. A great deal of time management, people management is what I have learned in managing a customer driven company.

    Pretty much good
    The good thingsThe working environment. Everyone (Accounting Department) feels just like your bestfriend.
    The challengesSales Audit department is perhaps the busiest department. Chasing deadlines would be the challenge since you have to squeeze all of your tasks within a specific deadline.

    Pay & Benefits are not good
    The good thingsThe people you work with. Most are at my age (20s) so I did adapt easily. Not much work to do so more time in other non related work
    The challengesPay & benefits, especially if you work in the head office. You get only mandatory ones that is why employees tend to resign quickly
