Pros

Lots training, potential to have good managers, hourly rate for sales was higher then other similar job positions. Managers have lots of responsiblity (though many dont use well) If you get a good manager it can make for a very good experiance

Cons

Glass ceiling for sales floor employees, lack of recongition for sales effort. For advancement to manager, its kind of luck of the drawn. Manager expect long/late hours during holidays. Can really be a drag on the personal life

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
