Pros

Great pay. Available to work more or less hours. Work with some of the best people. Plants are lovely.

Cons

Reduced hours in early spring and in winter. Trees are a bit annoying to unwrap but they're beautiful.

Pros

You get to work alone and mostly at your own pace. Team leads can make or break it, and I was lucky enough to get a great team lead.

Cons

No consistency, lots of promises with little follow through. With new shipments, you never knew when to expect them. Some stores can be difficult to work with.
