Business Outlook
Pros
Academy gives store managers the freedom to create their own atmosphere. They are also very flexible with schedules and will work with students. I was hired in high school and stayed until I became a junior in college.
Cons
Of course, working in retail means some holidays and most weekends. It can be a stressful environment sometimes. The company was originally owned by a family and was sold to a private investor a few years ago. It's lost some of the culture that many customers and employees grew to love.
