Pros

Good training program for a brand new outlet team. They flew in another manager/trainer for a week's worth of product and values training. A store manager makes or breaks a retail working experience and I lucked out and am glad to work for our current one - days off are always accommodated and the company provided lunches for the first few weeks while we were getting the store set up. Ballistics/profit share is a nice, albeit small, bonus at the end of the month. There's always new sales every week or so and the employee discount is applied on top of it.

Cons

Hired part-time but holiday hours were 40+ per week for many of the employees (not unusual for retail though). No room for promotion or benefits and all employees besides management are part-time. Has high turnover that's expected for retail.

Pros

The hours are very flexible and you are able to make your own schedule if so desired after getting hired. The discount is great too and employee appreciation discount is even better. PTO and Holiday pay is reasonable.

Cons

Low pay, ignore employees thoughts and concerns about bettering the business and management, incompetent management in the retail division, no upward growth opportunity, no policy structure which allows for inconsistent and fair application to employees, favoritism , dishonesty of management staff
