Pros

It gives you experience in a competitive market. stepping stone for experience.

Cons

The pay is awful. I have worked at corporate location who paid more hourly alone they i got hourly plus commission here. I was a store manager and was brought in under very false pretenses. I was told at how my store should be a 300 box store. I never got over 80. The whole thing is set up on make money fast but what sad is as bad as my store was, i made more at my store then the other 3 combined in the district. ohh and i uprooted my life at this opportunity based on promises that could not be kept. Not to mention i rarely had the phones i needed and countless HR fiascos involving my check where someone "Missed something"

Pros

Potential for good income Ample downtime Base pay + commission instead of commission only LGBTQ+ friendly, name tag does not need to be your legal name

Cons

Poor management Values KPIs above customer needs (you'll still get plenty of emails telling you to not, but verbally it is encouraged to do whatever it takes to meet number goals) Poor/minimal hands-on training (everything is video webinars that are basically just power point slides. No in-person coaching unless you get lucky and have a good manager.) Unlikely to progress to higher paying positions.
