Pros

*Not particularly difficult * Access to solid and other unique discounts * Having active coworkers to chat golf with

Cons

* Often expected to go beyond your regular expectations * If working a closing shift you can go home 10 minutes after the store closes or TWO HOURS LATER, and you NEVER know ahead of time * Pay is never good enough as a sustainable full time job and limited upward mobility * Severe lack of training from the company or Management on your expected club services and club fittings * Have to deal with a ton of micromanagement, most is totally unnecessary * Managers often contradict one another * Often expected to work nights and weekends * My lunch breaks often got interrupted WHILE being off the clock

Great Entry Level Position

Retail operations associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Recommended For Anyone Who is just Starting Out as Entry Level - When I was working, I was ellible for quarterly bonus based on the store's performance. If the store reached a minimum sales goal by the end of the quarter, everyone in my group would get a % increase of every shifted they worked per hour throughout the entire quarter

Cons

It is a stressful position requiring you the multi-task, especially in a high volume customer environment. As long as you are able to stay calm, cool, and collective while doing everything they asked, you should be fine.
