There was nothing unique about this company other than their assortment of merchandise.

Wouldn’t recommend

Store manager

Business outlook

Pros

I honestly can’t think of one. The employees I had were pleasant to work with

Cons

Unreasonable expectations from higher ups. 5 star ratings on Google, or else? Changing inventory dates randomly, moving it up a month. Replenishment was a joke, a balloon store running out of balloon weights, because the warehouse was out. But don’t worry, upper management would reimburse when you had to buy them on your own for the store.
