Pros

If you are in a good store with good quality people it can be a fun place to work. Their is a wide variety of work and it's varied enough to stay interesting. Many of the regulars or contractors are good people and great to build a relationship with.

Cons

The work culture was very dependent upon what store you were in. I chose not to enter the Management Training program because the pressure to grow sales was not balanced with a supportive management or price points that could bring success. It seemed like the successful reps and market managers were the ones willing to bend the rules or cut corners. Not something I wanted to make a career out of. - Retail hours with retail pay.
