Pros

It's a steady job that is hard to get fired, there are days where you'll have 3-4 hours of downtime between customers, so if you stay caught up with your duties, the job isn't difficult.

Cons

There used to be a tv playing for customers until upper management axed it. Stores are open 7 days a week & only closed on the big holidays, New Years, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Now open until about 4 on 4th of July, Labor Day, Christmas Eve, you get the idea. Opening hours are being extended during "Super Sales" on friday & monday of sale untill 8, not very family friendly. Typically a skeleton crew is used at store, because that is all that SW allows, very strict on overtime.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
