Pros
Now I know to never work in retail for the rest of my life.
Cons
In the year that I worked there I was only trained to be a cashier, which limited me in the hours that were available even though I asked to be trained in other areas. I went home in tears on multiple occasions due to extremely rude costumers and lectures I would receive from management: example, not putting my receipts in order at the end of the night. Could count a couple of times where customers were so angry with me, was scared to walk back to my car at the end of my shift. Lack of consistency in training, I would get told how to do something a million different ways. Managers are penny pinchers, wouldn't give discounts when clearly deserved to a customer, would end up making me look bad. Not to mention they made me sell credit cards. I was told I had to discuss credit cards with customers until they told me no three times, most of my customers would leave so unhappy that they weren't having a genuine conversation with me. Felt like I was harassing people. I'd get lectured about selling credit cards daily, or if I needed to go to the bathroom.
