Pros

The benefits are good, and pay is good if you can get into management. Hard work is recognized and will help advance a career (if that is what you want).

Cons

Sales associates earn minimum wage (for the most part). To sell shoes, they make it complicated to help customers by "dictating" how we are to interact with customers, and push the idea to sell something to customers (even if the customer is just looking).
