Customers in certain locations will berate the sales person and managers won't step in, customers will take advantage of a return policy that is too lax, clique-y work environment, poor upper management, required to do things not comfortable with such as touching elderly customers' feet

Not a job to be taken lightly

Business Outlook

Pros

Have fun selling running shoes to customers. Learn about shoe technology and everyday life as a runner. Meeting new people that can become a close friends or personal connections with co-workers.

Cons

Every different marathon sports store has a different manager and how they control their own team. Every store is (different) They are connected to one another just for shipping out shoes. If you like working in a fast pace area for example Boston or Wellesley is your busy go too store. But you have to be on your A game selling shoes and helping maybe 2 or 3 customers at the same time. If your looking for easy settling slow pace Brookline, Cambridge and Mansfield are examples.
