Pros

Good discounts, schedule is normal for retail. Easy to bonus for any position. Great if you want to dress like a CMT musician. But the cons working here outweigh the pros here.

Cons

Corporate micro manages ever single aspect of working here, especially the district manager. You're working with a bunch of kids. And it's based out of California, and they want to sell their type of western wear.

Pros

Easy job once you get the hang of it. Decent pay and company is constantly expanding. You also don't really get any of the bad retail shoppers as the store markets towards a certain demographic of hard working folks who have money and values. You get customers of all races but they are always quality people so you never have to deal with a lot of the bad side of retail customers.

Cons

Company structure is different from Big Box retailers. The store managers typically have very limited authority in the store. The District Manager is basically the final authority on everything. District Managers way too hands on and micro managing aspects of each stores day to day ops. Staffs skew heavy towards women so if you are a man, it can be difficult dealing with the drama and workload. Terrible schedule, and the scheduling process leaves in the dark week to week more than not.
