Pros

You get to design eye catching window displays, mannequin setups, and in store visual layouts to attract customers and drive sales. Great for someone with a strong sense of style and aesthetics.

Cons

You might be the only person handling visual merchandising for the entire store or have to assist sales floor operations due to staff shortages.
