Pros

Coming right out of college, SW offers a reasonable salary and excellent benefits. Being in a smaller store with great people allows for a very flexible schedule and an all around good working environment. Running a store is just like running your own small business; the results of your labors can be seen.

Cons

Bonuses are allocated based on sales increases for the most part. That would make every other year a good one. The base salary is not justified without the bonuses. There are a lot of part time employees working for this company, so if you are looking for benefits it may be a while before your chance comes around.

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
