Pros

-Flexible schedule (except if you're a manager- then you're forced to work every weekend). My manager (who was unfairly fired because our store never makes goal) was very accommodating and understanding. -50% employee discount. I'd never pay full price for the garbage that was sold and I felt bad that people had to pay the full retail price.

Cons

-Unrealistic sales goals. We NEVER made our sales goals because the location where I worked was in a mid-sized economically depressed college town. -The district manager -The products are so cheaply made. Things (especially jewelry) would frequently fall apart when they were taken out of the packaging -EBT markets their items as "exotic imports" when in reality most of it is just mass-produced crap manufactured in China and Indonesia. Dreamcatchers made in Indonesia? Hmm....

Pros

Fun. easy going retail environment

Cons

The company hired me to move from one city to another 2 hours away and then closed the location they hired me to work at 5 months after hiring me. I found out later this had to have been in the works all along and it was not communicated to me that this was to be the case. I left a job I had had for 7 years to move to a new city for a fresh start only to shortly after have a piece of that start removed by a company with no compassion. They then offered me a lesser position at another location where the pay wasn't even the least bit comparable. This truly could have been a lovely position where it not for all that got in the way.
