Pros

Team building with associates and developing personal relationships with commercial and retail customers.

Cons

Management bias. Lots and lots of hours Lots of metrics. Required a high level of commitment and physical effort. Constantly having to bail out poorer performing stores Uneven store standards , crazy inventory tracking, Things like tenure and dedication didn't count for much. Better make you numbers or you won't be there very long
