Pros
Once you're about a year in and you have solid footing of the product knowledge and processes, your day to day is fairly easy. Staff is okay to work with. However, if you are not a straight, white male please be aware your experience will be different as the customer base is mostly male. The pay is solid for anyone straight out of college.
Cons
Bonuses are hard to achieve. They will tell you to control inventory and then force ship you product and alter your min/max so pay close attention to your truck order 401k Match as recently been pulled as a cost saving measure so that benefit is gone. Insurance is...okay. As someome with health issues, I wish it were a bit more robust. GLP-1 are not on formulary so if you're currently covered keep that in mind. You will be expected to work 44 hrs as an ASM and 48 as a Store Manager. This is non-negotiable. You WILL be constantly under staffed at the store. SW has not figured out that part-time associates should not be the standard when we market ourselves as and expect staff to have a high level of product knowledge. You will not receive enough support to do all of the things asked of you. This have sales reps but then ask the stores to also be sales reps instead of mainly focusing on running really good stores. You're pulled in too many directions. There isn't a good way to use the PTO they give you. Since there is no staff it's hard to use PTO and they dont actually give you enough to cover a full 2 weeks of work.
