Lots of good and bad in retail
Pros: Great co-workers. Most leadership cares about employees. You will earn a lot about yourself. Lots of opportunities for personal growth. Lots of interesting and kind customers. Work is interesting and shifts go fast. Decent discounts. Everything changes all the time. Benefits are hard to beat. CEO is amazing and kind. Progressive values.
Cons: VERY high burnout rate for those working on the support side. Managers put off dealing with problems as well as problem employees and don't clearly communicate. Everything changes all the time. Hours and scheduling are not conducive to having much of a personal life. Pay is good for retail but not that great for the high level of responsibility and tasks being performed, not to mention the tradeoff in time lose with family and friends because of working lots of nights, weekends and holidays. Priorities are constantly changing. Not much room for advancement unless you want to relocate to corporate. Retail tends not to be very female friendly although the organization as a whole is. Stores need to be much more aware of this.
