Pros

Clean well equipped golf shop. Fairly well heeled customers who are into golf Fairly easy job for the money

Cons

Was enjoying the part time work until the store hired a new golf pro. At the time I was well adjusted and friendly with everyone working at the store. New golf pro and I clashed from day 1. At the time I was, in my opinion, one of the best sales persons working in golf. Store manager failed to corral new golf pro who was out of control in his running of the golf shop. Eventually I got fed up with dealing with him and just left. It's just typical Walmart Retai where you are a piece of meat. You need to understand that going in and you will do fine.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.
