Pros

- Learn the basics of selling, a CRUCIAL element of business or any profession, in general. - Cool Store Manager. - Learn about the basic buying habits, psychology, and routines of potential prospects (if you pay close attention).

Cons

- Half of the assistant managers were horrible to the people worked beneath them. - Manager & assistant manager plays favorites, thus, the others don't get any hours, even with high selling numbers.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
