Pros

Great customer base! They were generally enthusiastic about both the products and services. Team Members were upbeat, competent, and helpful.

Cons

I had no training. I was put behind the cash register to figure out for myself their rather cumbersome software. I had to ask or figure out for myself what to do in the less busy periods of the day. Management expectations during very busy times were beyond the scope of my training. Our Manager did not work well under pressure and was completely out of her depth with regard to developing and promoting teamwork.

Pros

I love my customers, my staff and the quality of the products we offer.

Cons

Management - DM's and upward who have little to no idea what it is truly like to work in a store and base their thinking/ideas for improvement/etc on theory. Also, it is hard to be motivated when most of the feedback you get is critical and the victories/wins you do make go unnoticed.
