Vantaggi
The location was understaffed with no cameras which was a con but a pro in certain ways. You were given the ability to easily discount items to prevent customer friction as a sales associate. The one retail job where I was rarely ever roped into doing freight. I never worked at the new location with the cameras, and self check out. From what I see it it's even a bigger pain in the butt. So a pro is that it being an older store meant that I was on register a lot of the time.
Svantaggi
The manager turnover rate was terrible. Just when you got used to doing things a certain way there would be a new store manager. I worked there from 2018-2023 and there were five store managers. Also like nearly all other jobs they don't reward hard work. I went above and beyond going so far as to even duties that shift leaders/other types of managers should've been doing and despite applying for being part time sales lead many times I didn't get it until my last year of employment with them. A racoon once got stuck in the backroom and corporate refused to send someone to take care of it. Thankfully local animal control captured it without asking for payment the next day.
