Great career for any corporate employee in retail to have a chance at being your own boss. You really run your own business.
Cons
However, as a small business owner you also assume all of the risks that go with that position. Many times your are treated like a manager since you really have no say in the end.

Thank you for sharing your experience as an intern! We’re happy to hear that you had a great experience working with us. Please tell your friends!
Nearby, always had mandated breaks. Had a close friend death occur and recieved immediate time off and support from one manager.
Cons
Very little training given, minor mistakes at other companies equal write-ups here, inefficient retraining, and 2/3rds of upper management ignoring me and acting immature for my final week because I quit
