Pros

-Discounts on shoes and apparel -Exposure to running industry -Good way to get sales experience if you're interested

Cons

-You are expected to take on a complicated sales role with a deep knowledge of feet, shoes, and clothing -You have to work with customers, some of whom are incredibly difficult if not outright abusive -In addition to the sales role, you also have to stock shelves, clean, order stuff, do inventory, etc. -One of the owners is incredibly micromanagerial. If she is in the store she watches you like a hawk. She gets upset whenever you have any downtime, no matter how small. She will scold you like you are a middle school student. It is incredibly demeaning. -The owners expect all of this out of you, say you're 'family', and that you're all in this together. Yet they pay minimum wage. No commission, no benefits. You make the same amount stocking shelves and listening to podcasts at Target.
