Pros

-Skill development (leadership, planning, communication, etc) -Salary -Benefits (Paying for Education, PTO, Insurance Package, etc)

Cons

-Your experience is based on how great your Store Director and District Store Director are. Mine were awesome, but beware this will make or break your experience. -It's retail so yes, your hours are wonky. Work every other weekend. Might close one day and open the next. -dealing with irrational guests and constant "customer service" face

Management & Stress: The work experience depends heavily on local store leadership. Understaffing and the pressure to hit strict metrics (like those in fulfillment or front-end tasks) can lead to burnout
