      Not your typical retail job

      Pros

      Get to become an expert on batteries, chargers, and flashlights. Also get to learn how to rebuild battery packs, change all sorts of car and watch batteries. Sourcing hard to find batteries from numerous suppliers is a rewarding experience. Getting to work with commercial accounts and do b2b sales is also a great experience not typical in retail.

      Cons

      Once you've mastered all the knowledge there isnt much more to grow. changing watch batteries can be tedious at times. Corporate sometimes makes changes that don't seem to make much sense. Quality of some of the chines made batteries can be inconsistent. Stores are primarily in the suburbs, urban growth has been tricky

      Pros

      B+B has a very intense PC based training system. If you did all of the training, you were very rarely left without an answer for a customer. The franchise I worked with had a very caring ownership. You saw them often, and they made sure to find out how you were doing, both at home and at work. If you didn't get your sales numbers, they would work with you to try and improve your selling skills. My store manager was more like a friend, and we still talk. They took a vested interest in each of their employees, and would help in any way possible. One of the best companies I've worked for, in or out of retail.

      Cons

      The retail schedule and semi-commission based pay were the only cons. However they would work to accommodate any schedule request, even if one of the franchise owners had to cover your shift. They would also help you try to boost your numbers, and didn't hold it over your head if you were struggling.
