Pros

It’s retail so it’s not hard to outshine your peers. Promotions come easy if you actually work.

Cons

As with any retail store it pays better to get your promotion and after 1-2 years move on to a different store. Internal hires know more but are paid less. Corporate wants store to look one way, SOP wants another, District Manager yet another. Leaves management confused and constantly wasting labor changing planograms daily depending on who they wanted to please that day. Management raises were contingent on two factors out of their control.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
