Pros

Some discounts on purchases but it's just a trap to get you to put your pitiful salary back into the company.

Cons

All the bad that comes with working in retail: Inept management, mistreatment of the rank and file, profits over people.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
