Pros
Get to become an expert on batteries, chargers, and flashlights. Also get to learn how to rebuild battery packs, change all sorts of car and watch batteries. Sourcing hard to find batteries from numerous suppliers is a rewarding experience. Getting to work with commercial accounts and do b2b sales is also a great experience not typical in retail.
Cons
Once you've mastered all the knowledge there isnt much more to grow. changing watch batteries can be tedious at times. Corporate sometimes makes changes that don't seem to make much sense. Quality of some of the chines made batteries can be inconsistent. Stores are primarily in the suburbs, urban growth has been tricky
