Fun and exciting . . . for a while but "praise and coolness" doesn't pay the bills.
Pros: Great environment, great people, positivity, cool products and image. Benefits for part time, no one watching over you. No micro managing, consistent breaks, ability to work with devices. Supportive team atmosphere. No "dress code" and they promote individuality and creativity.
Cons: You work for praise, no bonus, no commission, no incentives. Crazy unpredictable scheduling. Promotions are merely job titles, not financial. Extremely vague growth path, LOTS of talk but very little action for financial and personal growth. You can't afford any of the products you sell! It doesn't feel like retail to the customers, but it sure feels like retail when you're working there.
