Pros

-Flexible schedule and hours. -No micro managing.

Cons

-Incredibly boring, I'm serious, I could be in a store for 6 hours just walking back and forth in the aisle. -Lonely work environment, you are there on your own! -Little support from Target, sometimes they even had no idea who I was. -No advertising, therefore few customers even knew the company. I would only have a good sales day if a product was featured on a tv show or magazine. -Unrealistic sales goals, and this position is all about your sales. -Strict dress code. -A product would run out of stock and wouldn't be restocked for weeks on end. -Management rarely has the initiative to settle issues that would come up, "just deal with it" attitude. -Terrible communication. -Rare opportunities for advancement

Pros

Well earlier this week I left Boots, that’s a pro - right?? I’m pleased to be heading next week to a business without the red tape, committees, politics, and back-stabbing. Just like ‘crabs in a barrel’ don’t expect to get a career there unless you’re prepared to walk all over those below you.

Cons

Having been close to the financials (and obviously can’t share the details here) but the outlook isn’t looking positive at all. Anyone remember Woolworths?! These pressures bring out the worst in everyone - yes everyone!
