Pros

The showroom is a beautiful environment and you get the opportunity to purchase some pieces at a brilliant price.

Cons

Endless tasking, which changes last minute, and for some odd reason the different departments don't communicate so you wind up doing 2 or 3 times the work. Short-staffed constantly which puts huge pressure on everyone. Stores closing constantly, and restructuring. Constant changes and updates and training; it is like bombardment!
