Pros
-flexible/ accomodating to college students schedules -opportunities to work for manufacturers/ dealers in area of expertise (if you look for them) -generally very friendly co-workers -recognition is given where it is due -valuable "real life" experience -retail work in sporting goods offers a surprising amount of learning experiences
Cons
-seems to be a large disconnect between the upper levels of the company and the store levels - 3% commission is recieved only on warranties sold and only if warranties total is greater/equal to $350 or so (this is a monthly endeavor, if you dont reach the goal commission is forfeit) - location in a college town means high turnover which often leads to miscommunication/constantly bringing someone new up to speed. -getting a full time position is nearly impossible
