Stressful.

Pros

The stores are usually pretty flexible. Makes it easy to work around doctors appointments and such or a child in school.

Cons

Everything else. Very stressful. Very high expectations, but they don't give you what you need to meet those expectations. They allow customers to treat you like garbage and then make you call them to apologize so they will continue to shop there. You are required to work 6 days a week as a SM which leaves little room for a personal life. If there is really bad weather and travel bans, you're still required to risk your life and go in for those maybe 10 customers who live next door to shop. Very very greedy. They don't care about you.
