Pros

You get from the company what you put into it. Don't need a college degree to move up in the company. Management pays decent for retail management, however you will work 10+ hours a day.

Cons

Very difficult to get full-time, poor health benefits, no vacation/sick pay until after two years being with the company part-time

Pros

If you keep a smile on your face and are nice to customers while working hard, there are great opportunities for advancement. You must be good at sales! Its great that hard work is recognized, and the cos's are always great about giving tips and helping in any way they can. The pay is also much better than many places.

Cons

The job is more of a sales job than anything. You are pushed hard to sell plus memberships and to renew memberships early. If you don't get your quotas, you are coached. After three coachings you are stuck in the same position at the same pay for one year. You are also pushed to get people to apply for credit cards that have an outrageous interest rate. The plus upgrades are also misleading. you may get a person to upgrade for a small amount of money, but the customer often doesn't understand that when they renew in a few months it will cost them $100. On top of this, a job as a cashier is very demanding physically. You will load and unload many flatbeds every day and they are often pulled high with very heavy items. You will have muscles hurting that you didn't even know you had!
