Unrealistic goals, incompetent store managers.

Pros

Good pay but if yoi you are just going to get fired a couple years later for your hard work and dedication then what is the use.

Cons

Senoir managers care more about the staff the they do the customers and when that happens customer service and ultimately profits go down and when you try to correct the managers you are told not to leading the managers to believe they and the rest of the staff are "untouchable".

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is rewarded for amount of work performed, promotions occur very quickly from entry to management

Cons

Once you are promoted to manager they will fire you everytime you blink, well thats what they say. they inspire by fear of lossing your job, they will not really term you they will drive you crazy thinking your job is going to be replaced, Stress Stress and no support, I had top numbers and they still found ways to "fear me into resignation or finding something else" they treat you like they collect from customers, if you dont do what they want they will threaten to take it from you. Even go as far as to promote you verbally and have you act as the position above you when the position opens "whoops, someone else was better suited" Dont work there and if you are there you are nodding yes while reading this
