Pros
-Great Benefits (Healthcare, 401k, etc.)
-Sustainable and competitive business model for brick and mortar Storefronts
-Opportunity to make creative displays
-First dibs on the best products
Cons
-Lots of physical labor (I was averaging 30,000 steps a day)
-poor work/life balance due to scheduling (not even the store manager has a good schedule)
-Exposure to chaotic customers/crime rings/coworkers
-Weirdly elitist higher up the food chain.
-Bonus structure for managers doesn't match the accountability imposed on them.
-Credit Card sales perks don't match the effort put into them.
-Since it's a floating department space depending on inventory levels, fixtures should be designed to be more mobile and usable. The heavy wooden shelves don't make sense if you have to adjust on a daily basis.
