Pros
- you are able to kick out customers if they make you uncomfortable, are aggressive, etc (this is usually not the case for most retail jobs)
- a lot of downtime usually
-interesting merchandise
-had heard that other locations have had better management, better coworkers and better commission but that was not my situation
Cons
- Long hours and it's usually pretty dead
-Working weekends, nights (till 1 am), holidays, and even during storms
-terrible upper management
-pretends to be HR friendly but being "on guard" for shoplifting for most associates and managers means racially profiling.
-some of the most inappropriate, rude, and invasive clientle
-lazy management and anti-union enforcement on every level
-bigotry and unprofessional on every level, they think because of the kind of job we have it's okay to just blurt all your personal opinions.
