Pros

Benefits are reasonably good. Union-backed position. Work environment is generally laid back and free wheeling. Working outside when the weather is nice.

Cons

Store/upper management doesn't care much about employee welfare and is often incompetent. You have to constantly deal with terrible or stupid customers. There's little room for advancement or promotion. The pay isn't great but it's retail. Job attracts incompetent, unreliable, and lazy workers. Inconsistent schedules and hours for most positions. Working outside when the weather is miserable.

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
