Pros

Quick to hire inexperienced supervisors, so a good way to get your foot in the door if you are interested in supervisory experience. (Most companies require prior experience.)

Cons

Literally work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day (including "days off"," sick days and paid holidays with no positive feedback. Some of middle management is vindictive, very little assistance and support from middle management who is quick to read negatively into things, some managers rather fire people than train properly, will give you faulty directives and deny doing so so when there is a problem, will hire people to meet recruitment numbers then dump employees en mass when numbers are up. Underhanded terminations, team members terminated by email without notifying supervisor, relatively low pay for expectations. (Terminated the entire team after one year.) If you have a decent work history and skills you will be happier working just about anywhere else.

Pros

Very independent work; no supervisor breathing down your neck. Every job was usually different. Lots of interaction with people. Learned about new brands, products and specials. Decent health plan available considering it is a part-time job.

Cons

Sporadic work schedule. Sometimes you would get a full schedule (about 30 hours); some weeks you wouldn't get any work at all, so budgeting was very difficult. Supervisor would ask me to come in last minute after not being scheduled. I was transferred once and asked to fill it in at various locations. If you don't read your paperwork carefully you might end up at the wrong location. There was no bonuses or recognition for going above and beyond and really selling product above the minimum recommended goal. Sometimes the store would be out of stock of the product being sampled and then you stand at your counter all day with no product and it can be very boring.
