Svantaggi
Poor Management, I have experience great and horrible management. I guess it all depends. Working with strong personalities can be tiring. Time off, in my experience is nearly impossible. Calling in sick will automatically get you a rude comment or follow up with "we really need you" or "take some medicine and call us back". Extremely unprofessional. Pay, which depends on location,size of store, and what your bring to the table.Overall salary is low. raises are not great either. No commission,which kind of sucks.
