Pros

It's a fairly simple job with lots of work to keep you busy. Employee discounts and compensation with bonuses are great. Good benefits with medical, dental and 401k and plenty of vacation and paid time off.

Cons

Big con is you can only make so much money. Your salary caps out at a certain point and you can no longer receive raises. There is also very little room for advancement to supervisor or manager to increase that salary.

Pros

Flexible hours, easy job in AC, employee discount. Internal postings were available that I could apply to higher corporate roles for if id wanted to advance with them. The micromarket manager, Brandon, is good at what he does and so is the store EM or whatever they've reorg'd store manager to be called. The mgmt in general is eager to help and support you in getting better numbers if you are open and talk with them.

Cons

Very few. Maybe pressure occasionally to get card apps or boost your numbers but if you perform well enough this is really not an issue. The products honestly sell themselves if you know them even somewhat well and can get good at conversing naturally with your customers and identifying what they need. If you have secondhand guilt over credit cards or cant comfortably talk about them you may struggle. There is a template they follow on how to sell. It works tbh. Some people believe that it feels fake, I disagree. Personally I think theres a line you can walk to still be authentic/yourself while integrating their approach.
