Good environment, tough work.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good environment - Good benefits - Decent scheduling flexibility

Cons

- Long shifts (8-10 hours) - Base pay without commission is only 4.00$ an hour. -- Commission can help you earn a lot, but the sales floor is biased. People will try and swoop sales from underneath you, and if you struggle, you make only 60 to 80$ for the entire day. - Required closing recovery 1-2 hours after closing at base pay rate with no bonus. - Occasional district management inspections that require heightened maintenance - Management is great individually, but does not communicate well amongst each other. You will have to explain things individually to them after another has already asked.
