Pros

I loved the people that worked for me. I had an amazing staff.

Cons

Way too involved just to run a clothing store. Morning routine is an hour of paperwork, charts and boards to fill out, messages to be recorded for employees to listen to- plus going to the bank and cleaning. Not to mention all the other reports and lists and plans managers have to do. Horrible pay for hourly employees AND management team- every one is constantly searching for a better paying job. Low pay = low loyalty I don't care how good of a work ethic you have.

Pros

Could manage the business as I saw fit as through the lens of a business owner

Cons

Training was minimal and in a location very different than my future store. Staff I inherited was horrible and leadership was not transparent about the status of the store in regards to profitability and issues within the store or company for that matter. Company declared bankruptcy about 5 months after I started and closed my location. Not a great experience.
