Business Outlook

Pros

You get exposed to great products, lots of training, sales contests/incentives, flexible holiday hours

Cons

You are expected to have a lot of knowledge on the products. You should be interested in the culinary world otherwise it will be difficult to grasp. During non holiday seasons, they were strict with hours. If you couldn't work a certain amount you were unable to be employed by them.
