Pros

The pay & benefits aren't bad for retail, staff becomes like family when/if you find the "right" people...hard workers who dont stand around doing nothing. Great customers that become regulars & you look forward to them coming in. They can turn a bad day into a good one quickly!

Cons

Too much to do & not enough time in a day! Extremely heavy workload even for the best staff. No work/life balance for SM's. You WILL be in your store 60-80 hrs/wk. You WILL work regular hrs on all holidays, the only day we close is Christmas.
