Pros

You meet some great people while hiring or customers that make it all worth it. You get to learn many life skills because you are left to fend for yourself. You can advance very fast if someone quits they basically let anyone move to management and there are few who actually had to work to show they wanted the promotion. Its a place to learn about different things and antiques. You will learn management skills that you can take with you to a future job.

Cons

Always overworked and underpaid You are always short staffed You are expected to beat sales everyday but without the proper tools given to achieve that. Upper management are so fake and lie to you just to shut you up. Your struggles and sacrifices will always go unnoticed The community involvement is non existent You are just another number to them they forget we are all people and we are their bread and butter They play favorites so just know that if your not a favorite you aren't going to be respected To say you are the best one day and tomorrow it is all for nothing cause you were just another number To them

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
