Pros
Working independently in a empty store all day getting paid to watch TV and surf the web. Meeting some genuinely nice customers and striking up conversation
Cons
Being trained to trick people to sell their gold or silver for as cheap as possible by schmoozing them up. If we couldn't buy the gold for less than 40% of the value we would get yelled at by district managers. The new trick was to mix all the jewelry together and call it costume jewelry so that we could buy all the real gold and silver with the fake jewelry for less than pennies on the dollar. The company began cutting employees hours drastically and laying off many employees in troves, with not more than a moments notice.
