Pros

Great laid back, but still busy environment. There is always something to do, so you never feel like you are wasting your time. You also meet a lot of interesting people and get to see new products everyday.

Cons

There are a lot of difficult customers who don't agree with the store's buying policies. A lot of customers will try to negotiate prices, which we are not allowed to adjust.
