Pros

Relatively flexible, depending on who your store manager is. Compensation is competitive, benefits are decent. If you work in a store that has historically produced good metrics, chances are you will be left to do your work and not bothered by upper management much.

Cons

Upper management (outside of the stores) only see a snapshot of what is happening. They really only care about numbers (results) and often fail to give you applicable advice to accomplish tasks that seem insurmountable. Bonuses are weighted on certain metrics - overall sales performance counts, but it is certainly not the driving factor behind your structure (customer surveys are!).

Pros

I sell things I like. Make decent money for retail. There are televisions broadcasting sports!

Cons

No accountability for management. I am a key-holder, which means I have to know all jobs while the managers get the bonus checks, and I got NO raise for the keys. Closing shifts all the time because management has bankers hours.

Pros

Discount, overall great customers, fun job, fun environment, opportunities to learn new things. (I learned how to work on bows.)

Cons

Management!!! Leads, who are the lowest form of management, often don't do their jobs. They roam the store without working. District and Regional Management are worthless garbage. All they do is come in to the store, complain, offer no solution, leave and when the problem is fixed and it kills sales they complain that it didn't work, tell us to undo it, and say it should never have been changed.
