      Pros

      The pay was decent and the management is flexible with your schedule

      Cons

      The management micromanaged the staff. You get the “talk” for not meeting the insider quota. Pretty much if you don’t sign people up for the membership you get yelled at

      Pros

      You don't experience many of the retail horror stories you would at larger chains. Management was reasonably flexible with scheduling and always took our side during customer disputes. 30% discount nice bonus too (40% on some days)

      Cons

      None that I can think of
