HEYDUDE

Working at HEYDUDE shoes has been a very interesting work experience. I have been working at this company for almost 3 years now and have seen how this company started off with a hand full of workers in San Bernardino, into a company that is growing exponentially that looks like it has a bright future ahead itself. This company defiantly has its up and downs, but what company doesn’t. When I started out here I was a college graduate fresh out of college with no actual work experience which make it very difficult for me personally to find work in the field of study I took. What made this company decent is that they are willing to give you a chance and the opportunity to prove yourself and gain experience. This was one of things that truly appreciated about this company. Probably the best thing about this company for me personally are my fellow co-workers. You will meet great people that are really nice, great to work with and they will help you get through the day. As for working for the company it is not too bad, but you will encounter difficulties with structure, meaning on how the company operates and functions. You will have to deal with a fast-paced environment and expected to take up more unexpected responsibility due to the constant change in the company. Working here can be stressful due to unreasonable expectations and demands that don’t really make sense sometimes. Working with the CEO can be hard at times due to miscommunication and trying to interoperate what he is expecting. Despite the challenges, you will have the opportunity to growth the company, learn multiple skills, and gain good work experience. Whether you make a career here at this company or make this a stepping stone to move forward in a different direction, you will gain something working at HEYDUDE shoes.

I don’t even know where to begin. This company is probably the worst company I have ever worked for. I was upset to go to work everyday and relieved when it was time to leave. That’s no way to live. 
You are not appreciated for any of the work that you do. Upper management will only point out the things you do wrong, so never expect praises or encouragement when you work your butt off. They will throw an unrealistic amount of work on your plate even if you tell them you are overwhelmed and can not complete all of your tasks, they will just tell you to work OT or come in on weekends. Processes and positions are constantly being changed so it’s very difficult to be efficient in your job because you will get used to one way of doing things one day and the next day it will all change. People have cried, gotten into arguments, and become ill due to stress. It’s a very unorganized operation, yet they expect you to be perfect in everything that you do. Most people just sit around and talk about leaving because they hate the place so much. They will not listen to your opinions or concerns and will treat you like you’re too stupid to understand anything. The team morale is very low and it’s always tense because you feel like you have to be on guard constantly. Upper management is always pointing fingers looking for someone to blame, when they don’t fully train their staff. They make people who have been in the company a short time train new employees when they haven’t been fully trained themselves. We don’t get paid to train. There’s no benefits, no employee appreciation, no room for growth, and no raises, ridiculous rules that make you feel like a school aged child.

It’s not a pleasant place to work whatsoever.

What I liked about this place most was the Operation Manager/GM/Safety/ everything else you can think of. This person did a lot. It was great working for this person. Without this person, this place would of failed through the growth they were experiencing and still are. That was the Pro. The con was customer service needed so much help. They didn't understand the growth and were the company needed to be. There was a lot the people in place did not understand how to handle that much growth and continue to do things the same like they were still a small company. You had a transportation lead(well not sure what that person did) that had no clue what they were doing and did not understand transportation until they hired someone with the right training and background. You had a planner that did not know what they were doing and was rude and very unprofessional and lazy. Overall this place could have been a lot better with the correct people in place. The CEO was kind and helpful and very bright and was a great experience to work with a CEO side by side. but needed to put his foot down with certain people to make sure the company was successful. If it wasn't for him allowing certain things to happen I would have stayed because the warehouse team 1st and 2nd were great group and the Manager was very knowledgeable and an overall great person. I do see great things happening for this company and will grow tremendously only if the CEO gets a grasp of the team that has been there long and don't like change. The shoes are great and comfy. The water shoes are the best water shoes i own. In the end I wish it would have worked out at this place but had to do what was best and wish the best for this company. I say come work here be the change that this company needs a lot of room to grow but that is on the person.

Working at LYB/WEWOOD/HEYDUDE is an interesting experience, to say the least - you'll definitely have some crazy stories after a few months.

Usually the best part about the company is the products and brand. I had no problems getting a long with co-workers, since we all understood what it means to work at the company and dealing with it's ugly side.

Primarily the issues are with upper management: be prepared to be berated at least once or twice, sometimes when even things are out of your control (Inventory Issues, Low Sales, etc). It is a fast-paced environment and you will learn a lot, juggling many tasks, and forced to adapt to many situations on the spot. However, the high stress that comes with the sometimes unreasonable expectations makes most people think twice most of the time, especially if you work closely with upper management.

Words of advice would be to keep your head down and try to power through your day.

I wouldn't say my time there was bad at all. But what really made me give a bad review was how I was let go at the end.

So the company has made a position for an IT admin, I have applied and gotten the job. Problem was my job responsibility was more or less doing mostly nothing or job shadowing my supervisor. 

I have made attempts to ask my supervisor for more work and was told to just standby.I have also tried doing other duties in the warehouse but was told by my supervisor to not do extra work and otherwise was told to just standby till work came in.

I was happy to work with the company, but I was mostly doing nothing. after 1 month of working for the company, they terminated my employment over the phone.

So if you are looking to work with the company. Be aware of bad management. This is a fast growing company and they are definitely looking to expand. but they have made bad choices in the past. If you do decide to work with the company. be aware that your job security is not guaranteed with this company and you can be let go for any reason.

When I started working here it was great everything was pretty simple to pick up on but needed a lot of work, eventually it picked up and started getting movement but management seemed like they didn’t know what to do besides the leads who held the company and knew what they wanted to plan but never got heard, a lot of rumors went around about the company moving and they were not transparent about it leading to a lot of people getting fired/quitting. the ceo would always be out but was listening to the wrong people and not those who knew they switched up the process and eventually all the new managers they brought in got fired or left leaving us with messed up work procedures that felt we could get in trouble for simply trying to work. Overall the people around made it good including the leads since they talked to us and tried helping as much as they could but eventually they let all of us go no warning I wouldn’t recommend this company since they just moved everything to Vegas without any help to us. 

I've been with Hey dude shoes (Lucky Top) for a year now, this company is growing so quick and has so much room for personal growth at the company. I alone have been promoted 2 times since i've been here. It's a fantastic, equal opportunity company to work for. The owner of the company is on site and is very active in the day to day processes of the business which can seem overwhelming, but not enough to sway me away from enjoying my work. The management has come a long way, the company listens to the needs and demands of the employees and tries to promote within first. The culture is very Google-ish in the aspect of business casual and having a good time talking with fellow employees while the work gets done. They offer incentive programs and a company discount on shoes which you cannot beat. overall i can say i wouldn't mind retiring from this company. i love the product and so i'm sure the customers will keep us here for a long time!

This is not the company you want to work for.  I am not afraid of working hard but this experience is far from just hard work.  Completely disorganized company from top to bottom.

There was a very string lack of communication over simple tasks like production goals.  Obtaining that information was like pulling teeth.

All processes were manually managed and extremely far behind on all benchmarks.

Labor was a major issue as the turnover rate was extremely high and safety guidelines were non existent.

You always had a target on your back and some of the leadership would weaponize their authority to force your hand into working ridiculously long hours in the name of being a team player and if you didn’t you were out the door.

I could go on and on about how this experience but my biggest takeaway is that there have been some good workers to present themselves to this company and they were completely disrespected and used



I've been with Hey Dude for almost 3 years. I started as just the AP clerk / Assistant to our CEO but quickly took on additional tasks in finance 
 and sample development. Through the years I've learned soo much working directly with the CEO. I've been exposed to all areas of this growing company. Because of the rapid growth, there have been some major growing pains, i.e. heavy workload, processes and responsibility changes to a revolving door of employees. The revolving door I believe was due to new staff not understanding the growth and what came along with growth. Although there have been some very stressful and sleepless nights, I have enjoyed my time at Hey Dude. It has been amazing to see the growth our CEO projected since day 1. Hey Dude has definitely played a huge part in both my professional and personal growth.

Here at Hey Dude Shoes, it is a fast paced environment with lots of opportunities to learn about the industry. In my one year here, I have currently learned a lot about the footwear industry and gotten an inside look at the daily processes of what it takes to succeed in this realm. I have seen the company grow extremely fast, which leaves for a lot of work and responsibilities to take care of on a daily basis.

Sometimes, this can feel a little overwhelming, but with the right attitude and willingness to learn, you can get it down pretty quickly. There are definitely times where you can get overwhelmed, but this is a place where you can learn to develop thick skin to get the job done. 

With any company that is growing quickly, there are growing pains, but that is expected.
