BIRKENSTOCK

Compensation is minimum wage plus commission for sales. In the past years sales opportunities have been good especially on weekend days and after noon hours. Lately  because of scarce walk in’s,  on line shopping competition, inadequate restocking resulting in unavailablity of popular styles and sizes, shoes on display that do not have a  full contingent of sizes have resulted in poor  opportunities for sales! Customers leave with no sale & no expectation of returning.  Many “just looking”& no desire to buy customers. Result lower commissions than was expected in the past! 

The job itself is not horrible. If you are someone who enjoys talking with different people, then go for it. Be careful because the management at this location is poor. The manage talks bad about every single person on the staff. They also call the owners and district managers dumb because they try to do their job. Management does not accommodate student employees with their work schedule. Also gives everyone a hard time if they need time off (but will randomly not show up to work). Management expects you to constantly be available to cover everyone's shift. If you don't, you get the cold shoulder. Would not recommend.

Depending on the location, the work environment isn't the best in comparison to other store locations. This is mainly because of management if the location is in a busier area and in need of manager to be hands on and on the floor with other associates they'll be there, this is not the same for slower locations. It feels as if management doesn't value the associate and are paid well to do less than the bare minimum. Just be aware of the location, it's  a relatively easy job ask about management, workplace culture, and what a typical day is like during the interview.

A typical day at work is dynamic and engaging, offering opportunities to learn new skills and collaborate with colleagues. Management is supportive and approachable, fostering a positive workplace culture where teamwork is valued. The hardest part of the job can be balancing multiple priorities under tight deadlines, but this challenge also keeps the work interesting. The most enjoyable part is seeing projects come together successfully and celebrating achievements with the team. Overall, it’s a rewarding experience that encourages growth and skill development.

My only regret about Birkenstock was my decision to leave. Birkenstock is a company that definitely takes care of their own. Working customer service can absolutely be stressful, don’t get me wrong, but you are supported by your team. If you are struggling whether in your personal life or professionally, there is empathy but also a balance of accountability to help you move forward. 

I enjoyed my time working at Birkenstock, it was easy to learn how they want you to do stuff around the shop. Most customers that come in are on vacation so some will have a snappy attitude but nothing that is too hard to handle at least for me. I have learned so much working here it made me a better sales person.

As territory manager you are required to travel a lot.  Quite a bit of road time, but sales team was great.  Product is high quality and worth the price, so it can be a easy sell.  Since I left they have new management and quite a few new faces on the sales team.

Great management crew that encourages you to be your best. Offers coffee all the time and sticks the employee fridge too! Fun place to work!  Wish I didn’t have to move away!

This time period was fantastic as far as learning.  I had the best boss who showed me the ropes but also let me take the lead when he thought I had a great idea.

A little too overly on work life balance where it can impact others trying to complete work.  Impossible to get advancement role or salary.  The only time and has happened multiple times they will offer more money once you have handed in notice
