Pros

They have flexible scheduling, competitive pay even for the part times sales positions. Can be a fast pace, fun place to work where you get to sample all the food! The product is easy to sell, especially the pears.

Cons

The company is great with their catalog department, they run that like a well oiled machine. However, running a retail operation is different. Corporate never seems to know which product will sell best and overstocks the stores on their tried and true products. Communications are slow and they resist trying new and better ways of doing business. You have to jump through hoops just to get a new organization idea or marketing idea approved
