Pros

Teaches sales, register usage, very strong customer service values.

Cons

The goals can be a little bit unfair, and a particular statistic you're responsible for called Conversion, which is how many people choose to buy versus how many people come in the store is not accurate as children play by the door censors, and the same people come in and out, large families will come in with each one counting and only buy 1 pair of shoes, and elderly folks often just hover in the doorway counting for 4 or 5 people. Result: Instead of 5 people coming in and you making 3 succesful sales for 5 customers, it would appear you're a complete sales idiot for ignoring 50 people and only selling to 5 of them.
