Pros

It's a great environment, and getting to work with such loyal customers makes you realize the depth of the company. People leave feeling better about themselves after getting to shop with us.

Cons

The sales associates are relied on a lot at the smaller locations and have to do a lot more when new shipment comes in and store sets come up. When at the larger stores they have more help. But you do end up learning the ins and outs more in depth.
