Pros

It's mostly relaxed, customers are usually great, and co workers in my store are willing to help out when called on. Most days I can look forward to going to work.

Cons

Pay is low. Base pay is barely above minimum wage and commission is laughable. Management is constantly on our backs to "prospect" customers and try to get them to come in to buy. They don't understand that you can't force people to shop, and calling them once a week drives them away and loses business. Stop focusing on prospecting and focus on the customer that is in front of you.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
