Pros

Visual Merchandising was an interesting place to start a retail career. I learned a lot about getting the store ready for weekly sales and promotions. I also learned how to place weekly radio and print ads that came from corporate. Great place to learn and get your feet wet.

Cons

Money was always a sore spot. They did not pay the best, but they also were not the worst. Lower end of the pay scale for both starting and pay raises.

Pros

Decent hours, you get off earlier depending on the size of the truck coming in that day which can be a good and bad thing. You also get several hours before the store opens without customers. No late nights.

Cons

Too early for some, and even earlier mornings during high traffic times of the year like Christmas/Black Friday Sales days.
