Pros

The money was good for what I had to do. It wasn't high stress unless your numbers were down and corporate was coming in. I had free reign to do what I needed with my staff as long as their productivity was up and things were running smooth.

Cons

The store manager didn't like confrontation and would always come up with lame excuses of why she had to "speak" with someone. She knew of inside theft and did nothing about it. She had me in the store working doing things like cash room for the office, rebuilding cash registers, fixing ipads and ipods which was ok because I needed brain stimulation but sometimes my staff would feel like she should have had me working in the store instead of the salon. There seemed to be no direction at the corporate level, they were forever changing their minds.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
