Pros

This is a very relaxed place to work, great people to work with. You get to help lots of people unlike most running stores you are mostly helping people with pains and problems with their feet.

Cons

The pay is lower then similar jobs where you sell shoes. The system of payment is set up to make sure that even when you do make commission you have to sell huge amounts to make just a little extra money, you will most likely not make commission during cold months. Pay is not base plus commission, its base OR commission.
