Pros

Love dealing with the customers I am a people person and love having the same customers in everyday, you really get to know them.

Cons

As a corporate employee I understand we are on call 24/7 but having to report sales goals and items sold to upper management multiple times a day while working and when at home in the evening and on scheduled days off, there is no life away from work. Texts from from upper management (FC) starting as early as 5am to 11pm seven days a week

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
