Pros

One of the better retailers to work for in store management. Price changes not overly complex like at some retailers, saving time & payroll. Customers much more tidy than in clothing retail.

Cons

Insane amount of constant, very physical work to snake and condense product to put out new arrivals. Have to deal with people’s feet haha.
