Thomas

Store Manager, Allen Edmonds

A typical day includes helping customers that either enter the store, email us, or call, and making sure they receive the same great service regardless of how they shop with us; monitoring inventory; and training store staff to further develop their selling and operational skills so they can potentially manage a location in the future.

The freedom to make decisions for my store to maximize store performance is what attracted me to Allen Edmonds. Each store can take on the personality of the manager and store staff while still being united by a common theme of customer service.

Jill

District Sales Manager, Famous Footwear

I came to Caleres because I love shoes and I thought a Famous Footwear Sales Associate position would be a fun first job! I stayed with Caleres because they have always given me the space and time to let me be me. I graduated high school, then college, and Famous was entirely supportive of my choices. My mentor worked with me to create an engaging development plan so that I was positioned for career growth within Caleres. Now, as a District Sales Manager, I feel what I do makes a difference and I want to empower others to feel the same about their role.

At Caleres I’m able to share my thoughts and opinions and they are valued. Caleres creates a lot of space for conversation so that we remain adaptive and flexible in a quickly evolving retail environment.

Keri

Regional Director of Sales, Famous Footwear

I initially started at a Famous Footwear store in Norman, Oklahoma, as an Assistant Manager. I loved it, and extra bonus, I was good at it! At every single point in my career, I have had someone invested in my development. I have always felt like I can be successful because of the investment others have made in me.

At Caleres, everyone is valued and important for who they are and what they contribute to the team. There is a unique synergy in our stores and with our Associates that creates a truly rewarding and fun place to work. I love the opportunity to develop, teach and coach our field leaders, contributing to the success of the company, while creating a great place for people to work.

Alisha

District Sales Manager, Sam Edelman

I take immense pride in being able to tell our brand story, its rich history, and our love for design to our clients. In stores, we have our finger on the pulse of what is happening in the now. No two days look the same, which is the most exciting part of working in an ever-changing industry! Working with and developing top talent is a passion of mine and helping each of my team members grow in their position brings me a great amount of joy.

What initially drew me to Caleres is the immediate sense of family. Sam and Libby, our Sam Edelman brand's founders, are extremely involved in every aspect of the business and show a deep appreciation for every single employee on both a corporate and store level. They know the name of each person in the company, which is incredible! The entire team takes such pride in their roles. I am inspired by their passion; it motivates me to give it my all day in and day out.
