Pros

*Bonus of 25% of store profits paid out 2x/year. *I'm pretty much my own boss in that upper-management leaves me alone to run things on my own.

Cons

*Non-Union = unfair labor practices, low pay, poor benefits, wrongful termination. *Low staff levels (due to poor pay & benefits). *Unreasonable high cost/price of merchandise. *No response from upper-level management when asking about issues regarding personnel or outside events. (IF you're lucky to get a response, it's usually "you'll do fine" or "figure it out".) *Upper-level management demands set too high. (ie: in addition to running the store and maintaining accurate inventory, outside sales calls = 10+/week, minimum 1 show/event per month, 5% sales growth each month over previous month, etc.). *New employees compensated more than existing employees (new=$14/hr, existing=$10/hr). *Existing employees must work harder to maintain a 5%/month growth rate for 3 consecutive months in order to get the starting pay ($14/hr) for a new employee.

Pros

You learn a lot, you get to build great relationships. Learning an amazing craft and problem solving.

Cons

Terrible pay for you and the employees, changing rules and parameters with lack of communication on a weekly/monthly basis, terrible support when a store is in need of help, no one in the upper management actually knows how to do leather work.
