Pros

At earthbound there is always a very welcoming feeling and smell as soon as you walk in. Meeting people from all over the world just to see our store is amazing to me. People say they feel comfortable at our store which is a great feeling. Learning about our products is one of my favorite things, considering our buyers travel all over the world.

Cons

There isnt very many downsides except when people stereotype our store as being satanic in a way. The main downside is the crazy hours andnhaving to inventory.

Pros

The team you work with in the store. The products you sell. The discount is the main reason why a lot of people work for the company.

Cons

Bonuses, salary, benefits, operational hours, expecting a lot for little pay and not a lot of hours to do everything needed, management is obligated to work on the weekends. As a manager you have to work 40 plus hours per week, but you are salary. You clock in and out. You have to work a minimum of 8 hours on the weekends. Your district manager doesn't usually live in the same area as your store.
