Cons
Like any sales job it can be very busy and stressful at times. Pressure to perform in certain areas, especially if the overall store is struggling in a particular area. Competition between stores can be intense at times. Data capture for further online orders can cause your stores sales to be "poached" by the call centre team. When the store is slow it can be difficult to hit targets. Unable to sell clearance items from other stores or warehouses that customers may have seen online. Sometimes tough to shift certain clearance items.
