Vantaggi
Depending on your position in the store, the job is quite simple; ring customers, greet, and keep the store tidy. Loved working as an associate/shift lead.
Svantaggi
Once you get to be management within the store itself is when it gets hard. Corporate will give unsustainable workloads and unrealistic expectations, despite giving stores a budget of about 200 hours per week. When I first got my promotion, I had a single day of training before my district and store managers went on vacation for a week, as well as two no call no shows at 6am, way too early to fill the shift and have some help. After coming in early and staying late; even doing an overnight 2am-10am shift, I was told by my DM that i had no urgency and it was ridiculous. Not a care to the lack of education or support that I had received.
