Pros

You get the discount, decent looking shoes and apparel, and if you're lucky with the location a pro shop for all board needs

Cons

I've been at this company for 2 almost 3 months and received no formal training, I make $8.10 an hour, the first shift makes a mess and my shift has to stay an extra hour or more past being scheduled to fix the store to an adequate level for the next day only to be neglected again by first shift.
