Pros
-Flexible with hours as a part time worker/student -More freedoms given to how to set up in-store displays and some placement of products compared to other larger company retail stores allowed you to be creative -Employee discount of products let you purchase items only a shade above warehouse pricing -Commission pay allows you to make what you sell -Upward mobility within store very obtainable
Cons
-Hours dedicated to opening, closing or training paid at commission rate led to low motivations on such essential tasks and created a wide enthusiasm gap between on and off sales floor hours -The focus on sales day after day can become tiresome/ creates a work environment with questionable ethics all for the sale -Slow business days and seasons came around quite often and highly fluctuated pay -Middle management was hit or miss as primary supervisors. Some micro-managed to a high degree while others were completely disinterested in everyday affairs
