"I truly believe Genesco has a great diverse mix of employees. It is rare to find a huge company that encourages individuality, accepts you regardless of your background and has leaders who stay humble and remember where they originally started. I joined in a seasonal role at a Journeys store and have been promoted multiple times. Leadership has always seen the potential in me and had my back wherever I wanted to go."
Shirla, Travel and Expense Manager
"I wanted to work after school at Journeys, applied when I was 16 and have been with Genesco ever since. My team gets stores opened, relocated and remodeled, so it is satisfying to see stores go from construction sites to Grand Opening. One of the great rewards is meeting staff in the field and being able to follow their career growth. The best part is absolutely, without a doubt, the people I get to work with every day."
Lauren, Operations Manager, New & Renovated Stores

Everyone has a seat at the table. It also supports learning opportunities and encourages skill strengthening, which has helped my career development. From innovation to execution, we work effectively together."
