Pros
After I graduated college, I worked as a part time sales associate in the Macy's ladies' shoe department. I enjoyed my part time hours and earning commission in addition to my hourly wage. I liked interacting with customers as well as my employee discount. They had wonderful sales as well as a great selection of shoes, accessories, lingerie, and clothing.
Cons
The downside included having to work nights. If I had to work the night shift I wouldn't get off until 9. If the store had extended hours then it might not close until 11. I also disliked working weekends and holidays. Also, as a sales associate, you are on your feet all day and at the end of an eight hour shift my feet would ache terribly.
