Pros

Great people to work with if you have a laidback but optimistic personality. I loved working in sales and with the customers. I liked selling the product because I liked the product!

Cons

Always on your feet! Always busy busy busy, but that should be expected! The sales attitude is very aggressive so if you are timid its not really the job for you.

Pros

Depending on District/Store great culture. Awesome discounts and bonus incentives for full time management. Relatively lenient on being able to use your discretion with difficult customers, "What Would Van Doren Do?" - basically make the customer happy reasonably. Great position to learn retail and people management in - applied itself to any career field later on.

Cons

Job Security (retail and working in malls in today's landscape can be tough depending on location). Corporate can be corporate sometimes, DMs or RMs pushing unreasonable and ridiculous selling behaviors sometimes.
