Pros

Easy line of retail goods to learn Expansion into new areas/ opening of new stores provides more opportunities for advancement

Cons

Stores generally have way more stock than room which leads to constantly changing/moving & reorganizing heavy fixtures and displays. Paid Time Off System for managers is in place but has no organized method of tracking Medical/Dental used to be completely covered by the company, but starting next year it will cost employees (if you're new you start paying now)

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
