Flexibility with the opportunity to learn multiple roles. Opportunity for growth within the company. Company hires with for leadership positions, which encourages company loyalty. Union benefits. Weekly pay.

Cons

Disorganized management, scheduling and inefficient/ little to no training. Low employee morale. Lack of team bonding atmosphere and sense of community. Only able to get a full time position as a manager or leadership role. Company doesn't pay their employees very well and doesn't provide opportunities for bonus pay or overtime. Lack of consistency with scheduling, only able to see your schedule up to a week in advance.

Pros

Average salary compared to other retail

Cons

Poor retirement. Upper management solely interested in their own advancement and play with the books to make themselves look good. Gross profit is calculated when product arrives at the store regardless of it's saleability. So merchandising fills the stores with high margin junk that doesn't sell. Then retail inventory results look bad when mark down are needed. Not to mention the loss of sales when your shelves are filled with junk and products that manufacturers pay slotting allowance for instead of items customers prefer.
