Pros

It is a job and there is advancement opportunities. The best part is the customers.

Cons

I have no home life. I am often asked to come in on my day off. Most days I work 15 hour days and I am on salary so I don't get any overtime or holiday pay. The store director is never happy and I very seldom get praise for all my hard work. They give you this speech like they care about their employees and their families and it is a total lie. If I leave for a lunch break it is always way past six hours and I am yelled at if I leave the building to run to grab a bite. I am expected to work through lunches and carry the phone with me at all times. Worst of all they just expect you know things when they do not train you properly. It is bleeding me dry. The health insurance is a joke. In order to have a good health plan you must submit your personal medical tests to the employer. You employer has access to your cholestrol level, blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, BMI and mental health status. If you don't allow the employer to have these than you booted off into a horrible health plan with a high deductible that no one can afford.

Pros

If you have good relationship with your manager and you can trust them to have your back, it is an amazing place to work, and you will find success easy.

Cons

If you have lost the confidence of your manager, or have bad communication with your manager, it makes it very hard to be seen and be successful.
