Pros

45% discount on full-priced products. Interact with pretty cool customers. The pay is better than most places. Sometimes you can get free products.

Cons

There are not many Body Shops in the area, and so I ended up driving 45 minutes to and 45 minutes from work every day. The hours are too long, for instance, a "night" shift would be 1-9:30 at night, and a day shift would be 9:30-5. If you have anything to do in your personal life, you'll have to request off to do it. There is a very small payroll, in which there are only 5 people employed at each store at any given time, therefore it is very difficult to find someone to trade shifts with, or cover for you if something comes up. The store is also very sales-based. If you are not making your sales goals, they have the ability to fire you. The products are over-priced for what they are, so it is very hard to sell to people. Also, the types of people who are hired at this company tend to be people who don't have any experience in sales, or even care to meet their sales goals.
