Pros
Being on the Merchandising team I'm separate from the normal sales associates. I'm Mon-Fri 0500 to 1330. So weekends and most major holidays off with pay. Often I get to work alone with limited "interference" form my supervisor.
Cons
Pay. Managers trying to convince said pay is exceptional. Scheduling in each department. e.g. No Plumbing associate in in the dept from 6am to 9am. This is the norm. Pick multiple departments randomly each week and it will have no one in it. This is a con to the merchandiser team per customers will seek merchandisers for technical, time consuming help/answer. I received employee of the month and many other accolades through out the year and only got a 0.30 raise. Other got less or no raise at all. Profit sharing is a joke even if your store comes in first place. It's a heavily taxed bonus.
