Pros
Mostly loved my other half (job). I spent a lot of time with "him" of course. We had our ups and downs. The ups included, great bonus structure with opportunities for everyone on staff to reap the reward. great benefits and PTO. Amazing product with great results thus easy to sell.
Cons
Work life balance. Sometimes long hours by yourself with a lot to accomplish and short deadlines. This became difficult when you're or attempting to convert at a higher rate and trying to increase ATV through guest demonstration but had no hours to support all three missions. So what suffers, your work /life balance? Your guest experience? Or you meeting deadlines? In the end for me and most top talent it was work life balance because I wanted to grow my relationship and career. Attracting Talent and recruiting is a issue for this brand. Talent retainment was difficult because the brand isn't huge in some markets and it was easy for a Part time sales associate to lose balance as well. Especially if your store loses an associate or someone is out of the business for more than a few days because there's such a small amount of staff. The part timers are expected to be alone and running the business a lot of the time. Can you imagine how much trickery a dishonest associate could get into with no one present to hold them accountable at all hours?
