Pros

Working rentals is great. Really fun and really chill for most of the year. Pro deals and discounts on gear are great.

Cons

Winter season can be a bit hectic. Used like a ski tech, but not paid like one. You will spend most of your earnings back in the store.

Pros

Get paid to go biking, hiking, kayaking!- ability to be included in store outings. Fun in-store atmosphere. Intelligent, caring, down-to-earth managers. Paid holidays, and never open on Black Friday! Hard work rewarded: decent raises and regular evaluations.

Cons

Inconsistency in my "set" schedule when multiple managers take turns making it. But still able to accommodate my schedule requests for the most part.
