Pros

Flexible hours with as many as I need. Good managers, fun employees. Customers are reasonable mostly. Good discount, good products.

Cons

Busy holiday season, lots of pressure to make metrics. Scoremore, scorecards, service plans. Sometimes these aren't in the interests of the customer.

Business Outlook

Pros

Best customers in the world. Good discount, great pro deals, online discount websites. Really work around my schedule (I'm a college student) Promote involvement with activities. "Living the brand"

Cons

Managers are not interested in selling firearms. (I've been told by four managers in my store and both my district manager and DLPM). They don't understand that it is my job to sell guns to all qualified people who want them. They believe the company makes no money on guns but I insist that I can upsell the extras (ammo, case, cleaning kits, etc) Stores and departments are not staffed properly. I may have 8 cashiers with three standing around with their thumbs up their butts and I am covering two or three departments because people call out. Other associates call out way too much, in the army we call them Bravo Foxtrots. I've been here two years and never called out yet I know of people who call out three to four times a week and the company never fires them.
