Store ambassador

Pros

Best retail environment I've worked in Easy to acclimate with disorders or other disabilities I've worked previously in other retail positions and the actual physical work you do isn't that bad.

Cons

Despite actually enjoying the work, managers sucked and had little to no understanding of life outside of work. Getting guilt tripped when calling out for serious matters. Overworked and had strange work arrangements. Managers make the store and I've had good and bad. Sometimes, I'd actually be excited to come into work and sometimes, I dread it.
