Pros

-The customer base is easy to get along with and with the casual nature of the store, a lot of valuable relationships are made.

Cons

-Poor pay -They believe in hiring externally for management postions instead of giving current employees a chance, ruining morale and creating a toxic work environment.

Pros

-More freedom on the sales floor than other places -Opportunities to learn how to sell -Opportunities to advance -Best salespeople will get more hours/steady hours -Great discount, plus first opportunity at discounted hats -Good training program -I don't think it was boring at all. Definitely, very interesting -Great opportunities to bond with team -Embroidery machine is fun and interesting -Required to wear a hat every shift -- which is good

Cons

-"Sometimes" you'll meet lazy managers -Staff-room politics are sometimes present, even if you're numbers are good -- same in every work environment, really -The cycle counting takes place every week as opposed to every other week, you get used to it and its not very demanding -- but it can feel redundant and boring -You need your numbers at a certain percentage, but they become easy targets to hit if you make an effort to get better in certain areas
