Business Outlook

Pros

Sells products that are beautiful and/or tasty and decent quality. Customers (usually spending disposable income) tend to be polite, friendly, and less stressed than those in other retail environments.

Cons

Store looks nice but actually is not well maintained. Bathrooms haven't been remodeled or updated in years. Cash registers are ancient (not Point-of-Sale). Management devotes no energy to training or mentoring. It's sink or swim. They also give conflicting instructions on the regular. They expect you to do new tasks with zero training. There's very little positive feedback.

Pros

%20 off, employee discount available. Plus, break time for even part-time employees. Coworkers are all very friendly.

Cons

The management would get on your butt if you did not push for the credit card or even the phone number membership.
