      In school job

      Sales specialist

      Pros

      Benefits for even part time employees. I had a 401k with match while working part time and opportunities for benefits. The employee discounts and pro-deals were amazing and a great group of people to work for.

      Cons

      Being a student I had trouble getting time off that I needed at times. Huge push to always sell memberships, this was sometimes pushed more than providing quality service. I always sold plenty but never felt that it was enough. Luckily my management did not push us to sign users up for credit cards.

      Pros

      It was a very friendly place to work. Great discounts on gear and if you like the outdoors how could it be any better.

      Cons

      Sometimes you dont get the hours you need and the schedule can sometimes be hard on your schedule. Sometimes it gets hard to work in the retail business.
