Business outlook
Pros
a good place to learn the hard, cruel world of Retail. You'll learn quickly to how to do the best job you can for the customer in spite of required scripts and robotics. The customers and co-workers are your only support system. However, if you see PS as a stepping stone to "somewhere-else" then it can be useful for a small time, but keep a safety net handy and plenty of ear plugs for the incessant whip cracking.
Cons
emails, memos, and meetings are heavily riddled with threats regarding performance; management style is extreme micro-managing; stress levels and pressure are enormously out of proportion for the product. Storage has a built-in customer base; but PS browbeats it's employees for that one extra sale.
