Business Outlook

Pros

Works around employees schedules. Fairly easy work environment. Having a manager that makes working retail is a huge plus, but it does not always happen that way.

Cons

Pay is terrible, WalMart and McDonalds employees make more and don't have to dress up in business casual to sell entry level sporting goods. Doing labor work in business casual, not the most fun. Very very monotonous. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
