You love to take on additional responsibilities and take pride in your execution. You are a team player, celebrating individual and team successes. You are committed to staying informed about trends and sharing that knowledge with the store team and customers, which builds engaging customer experiences. Most importantly you LOVE shoes and whatever your style you help every person who enters the store feel a little bit of that Famous Feeling.
