Business Outlook

Pros

Constant moving brings in the money. If you cant stay in one place, this is the job for you. Moving and staying motivated is where the money is.

Cons

Often times during the week there are very slow days where you are making only four an hour. Working mornings before the store is open results in very low pay, so the grind to make as much on the floor when the store is open is stressfull at times. Welp. again 4$ an hour
