Pros

Great place to get face-to-face selling experience. Good fellow employees. We sell guns. :)

Cons

Corporate bureaucracy often lacks common sense Somewhat of a disconnect between Corporate policies and the freedom to conduct business at the store level according to local community habits. Weekly varying retail schedules are extremely frustrating!

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
