Great job, but wish there was more Full-Time possibilities

Business Outlook

Pros

- Easy work for starting in retail - Great team members / Had very understanding managers - Trains you on delegating tasks to people / Cultivates soft skills in leadership

Cons

- If you aren't a manager or assistant manager, you won't get access to full-time hours (at least in my area, DFW, TX) - Usually random work hours, depending on your other co-workers' availability, but that kinda comes with retail. - You can probably expect to rise the ranks within the company if you work there 3+ years. I wouldn't say to have high hopes in promotion opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy work. Consistent schedule once you are a manager.

Cons

Poorly managed. The company does not have a good grasp on inventory control and logistics. You will struggle to get items in the store or too much. Poor communication regarding new policies with terrible systems that are too vague to be of help.
