Learned a lot about the community's relationship to technology
Pros: Challenging retail experience allows employees to grow and learn so much every single shift. Not knowing everything is okay - learning with the customer and using plentiful resources is encouraged.
Cons: Critical thinking/questioning of the rules/status quo/"business as usual" is not encouraged. Each shift was incredibly draining - spending eight hours in this kind of retail environment demanded being 100% present 100% of the time. Opportunities for personal development were few and far between, despite management touting otherwise.
