Pros

Lunch is an hour long and

Cons

At first it was ok working their but after like 5 years I realized it was a dead end job with no chance of me advancing past general sales , you got paid 5 dollars an hour plus commission which was never enough to pay rent or bills other then a couple months during the holidays, I do have to admit the health benefits were good though and you get an hour lunch

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
