Pros

If you're outgoing, you'll get a chance to network and meet all kinds of people and businesses. Due to minimal staffing, you will learn every aspect of the business.

Cons

Terrible hours - sometimes 12 hour days, 6 days a week. The regionals have the "you're salary, so I expect you to work 100 hours." mentality. Speaking of, the regionals in my area got there because of who they know, not ever have accomplishing anything - so don't expect them to understand or have your back. Get ready to chase accounts and show up at customer's houses at 8 o'clock at night to recover their merchandise - and get ready for angry, sometimes violent responses. People don't consider it a legit business, and treat you as seedy salesmen when they realize how much they actually pay for their items when taken to term. Considering the hours, the pay is terribly low and the bonus structure is extremely weak - don't fall for their "this store manager made 12k a quarter in bonuses." I wouldn't recommend this position to anyone unless it's a single person without a degree who wants to get into management in the worst way to beef up a resume.

Pros

All the people I worked with in the store were fantastic people. Everyone helps everyone else and doesn't leave anyone out to dry.

Cons

Management above store level were a nightmare. Easily the worst I've ever experienced. They would change goals often, sometimes within days of having made a change. They would make assumptions about what was wrong without ever actually being in store. They wouldn't speak to ANYONE below the level of a manager to the point of ignoring someone if they greeted them.
