Pros

Discounts on items. Some co-workers customers can be really fun to work with. Training is very good for a retail position.

Cons

It is a retail job. So, low pay, lots of hours. No real scheduled breaks for lunch. 8-10 hours on the sales floor some days. No scheduled pay raises or reviews. Having to upsell every step of the way with inserts, sports bras, socks...while seeking NO commission for all of your effort...just lining the pockets of the owners. No, a $5 gift card to Starbucks is not equally to me selling thousands of dollars a day. Serious micromanagement from ownership. Playing "doctor" sometimes with serious conditions regarding peoples feet. Having to touch some really truly gross feet. Not enough life balance for serious athletes who work at the store.

Pros

You get to participate in keeping people healthy and running. Seeing people get into running is encouraging. You are really looked at as someone with a lot of knowledge.

Cons

Because people think you are an expert, they come back blaming you for things that they decided to buy. It does get intense on a busy day. Don't work here if you don't like touching or being around feet... that is the majority of your job!
