Pros

If you are lucky enough to work at a busy location-no limit on commission plus hourly pay.

Cons

Non stop changing of whats important....sometimes its Average Dollar Sale- make sure you sell grandma $40 even though she wants a bottle of calcium for $2.99! Keep your average at $40 but we gave all your customers coupons for 40% off their purchase....super. You beat last year budget by 5% this month? Great...next month we decided you need to beat LY by 20%! That's fair, good luck on a bonus! That other stores only have to beat LY by 2% though. Sometimes I felt horrible for myself or my fellow managers...how about beat LY by xx% and you bonus...more %?Bigger bonus. Oh and lets not forget they took away raises...give yourself a raise...by selling more...
