Pros

training modules are easy to understand, room for growth in company if you are a go getter, willing to train you if you ask questions and have a good manager, overall company culture is great at promoting inclusivity and don't discriminate on gender , race or sexual orientation. depending on store - flexible work hours.

Cons

reduced hours if your store is doing badly, reduced hours if not bilingual, no room for growth if you're not interested in becoming a 3rd key or assistant manager etc. every position that pays above sales associates requires a 4 year degree. bad managers make it hard to do your job, underpaid compared to new hires and under appreciated. in district politics can be catty and have nepotism . gossip spreads from store to store. expectation on growth of sales from year to year is unrealistic- especially with horrible unpredictable weather patterns. poor management of manager = bad store to work at
