As a former employee of this company, i must say, they have things going for them. They implemented a customer service systems(called SMILES, ancronym based name) to increase sales and it is done by the retailers well since its fun. Hey, just ask a sales rep about SMILES and they will know what it means!

They also have a stricter payroll policy which in most cases, no one recieves overtime time pay.

Last but not least, the shoes are becoming alot more presentable than before. Although i worked as a sales rep and assistant manager in Payless, i knew that i hated the shoes but the styles kept getting better and better which even caused me to get a couple pairs...and thats saying mouthfuls!

I sorta wish i purchased this stock when it was $12-14 when i was working there but theres more room for growth...
