Pros

Interacting with and helping the customers.

Cons

Training is basically when GM has time along with monthly videos online. SPH program based mainly on salary/experience rather than mean general income of the surrounding area of the store and prior year sales. Scheduling and traffic flow greatly affect the SPH in a negative way. Seems all that is cared about is the stores sales/bottom line and not the employees as it used to be. SPH program is a good tool to be used to get rid of the high salaried/long term employees and bring in lower paid employees. Hard to make your sales goal/bonus as opposed to what is told to you when recruited/hired.

Pros

- Good time off and flexible - Some leaders are great - Regular Benefits

Cons

- Not much company or team buidling activities - If you are new you may feel isoated, kind of (cliquey) in some departments - Not much option to switch leaders - With big projects you may feel as if you are doing more than you were hired for
