Pros

Being non-commissioned is relaxing if you have other things going on in your life, such as school. Management is usually very nice and supportive.

Cons

This isn't a place where you can make money if you try harder. My store recently laid off much of its full time leadership staff. I also got the feeling sometimes that management talks behind your back.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
