      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Balanced workload. Known expecations. goals are achevaible howevery sometimes hard to exceed due to limits on what you can do.

      Cons

      Staffing is difficult, pay isnt the best. Hard to advance up. Counted on to cover the store during short staffing times (call outs) hard to have good worklife balance.
