Pros

Clients are mostly nice, so are coworkers. Work life balance is decent.

Cons

My direct supervisor gaslights me daily, as if I’m dumb. Also, she makes my job ten times harder because she doesn’t know how to do anything correctly. Literally have to clean up all of her messes. Currently looking for a new job. So tired of her nonsense, being belittled and demeaned. Ps. I’m the only one working like a dog to make this place run properly. It’s like a circus in the store with 0 reprimanding and 0 training. I pity whoever takes my spot when I put in my notice!
