Pros

Retail - flexible hours from 5am-11pm. Easy job and work load if you're not management. EASY to work up in the company if you do your job and work hard.

Cons

Long hours as a salaried manager with an ever evolving team. College students come and go quickly. Impossible goals and implements as a manager, which set you up to fail. High stress during the holidays - mandatory 60hr weeks for holiday season.
