Pros

co workers were all very nice and helped each other out, environment was clean, inviting, and definitely well organized. The flexibility of hours were great! The training was thorough and followed up on. The geographic locations of these stores made it an easy commute.

Cons

seasonal work - was expecting a much higher rate of pay -expectations of work were that of any other job plus some extra duties that really had nothing to do with what I was hired for- but with zero benefits and a very low pay scale. Hours of operation were switched around the whole time making it difficult to be able to count on hours.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
